About Jodie
Jodie Spradlin is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, depression, and a range of relationship and family concerns. Jodie also addresses addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also integrates acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and guide next steps.
Jodie uses client-centered principles to shape the pace and tone of sessions. That means she listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the focus accordingly. She can also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and the Gottman method for relationship communication when relevant.
She has additional focus areas that include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, BDSM and kink topics, communication problems, divorce and separation, and addictions related to drugs and alcohol. Jodie works with issues like guilt, shame, infidelity, money stress, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.
People who contact Jodie typically want clear tools, steady feedback, and a practical way to address conflicts at home or stress from parenting and household roles. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take actions that match their values. It can help when someone feels overwhelmed by stress or unsure about next steps in relationships or parenting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that make anxiety or depression worse. This is useful for panic, mood shifts, and everyday worry.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what the client says matters most. The therapist follows the person’s lead and adjusts the pace and focus based on each session’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and check in over time to see if the plan is working.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose audio-only if they prefer less bandwidth or use video for more direct interaction. Ask about formats during the matching process to pick what fits daily life best.
