About Jade
Jade Dodde is a Licensed Master Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of personal struggles. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Parents and caregivers will find a calm, steady presence for stressful moments and big transitions.
Jade works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, grief, trauma, and relationship or family stress. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, career issues, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her experience includes several attachment and adoption-related concerns as well as blended family and parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and collaborative. Jade treats each person as the expert on their life and builds practical skills together.
Sessions focus on slowing things down, learning emotion regulation tools, and setting small, realistic goals that fit everyday life. Jade uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when helpful.
These methods are used to reduce distress, process painful memories, and improve communication within families. She is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW. Her work blends talking, skills practice, and care for the parts of life that affect parenting and family functioning.
Parents who want straightforward, steady support often find her style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jade uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build concrete coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and testing them with real-life experiments. DBT adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can be useful for mood swings, anger, and relationship stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when goals involve values and long-term meaning. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and then take steps toward what matters most. Choosing the best approach is a team effort - the therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, school, or parenting responsibilities. The format also lets people practice skills between sessions and check in with short messages when that helps keep progress steady.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
