About Jeffrey

Jeffrey Haddock is a Licensed Master Social Worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress and family difficulties. He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to create straightforward plans you can follow. Jeffrey keeps sessions focused and respectful, aiming to make emotional problems easier to handle.

He practices in Michigan and speaks English. Jeffrey has 14 years of professional experience in social work.

Background and approach

Over that time he has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and changes in life circumstances. He also supports those navigating concerns related to ADHD, bipolar conditions, eating, and LGBT matters.

In sessions he blends proven therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy - which looks at thoughts and behaviors - with attachment-based ideas that examine how relationships shape feelings. He also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. The goal is practical skills that fit your life rather than abstract theory.

Jeffrey adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. He emphasizes clear communication and a collaborative approach to goal setting. If you are ready to make a change, he focuses on steps you can take now and tools to use between sessions.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats so you can choose what fits your routine.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and coping

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help when worry or avoidance interferes with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationships affect emotional responses and can be useful for resolving family conflicts and improving connection.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jeffrey will review your goals and needs and collaborate with you to decide which methods fit best. That way the plan stays practical and tailored rather than fixed or theoretical.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you have focused conversations face to face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer more flexible options for check-ins and coaching. These formats support ongoing practice of new skills and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent despite a busy schedule.

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.
