About JoDee

JoDee Keller is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for families and parents. She draws on two decades of experience to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find workable steps that fit their daily lives.

JoDee spent much of her career working in schools with children, teens, and their families.

Background and approach

She has also worked in behavioral health settings with adults who have chronic mental illness and with college students. That range gives her experience with school problems, peer relationships, motivation, and family conflict. She uses short-term, focused methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused work, and motivational interviewing to help people make changes they choose.

JoDee also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. JoDee pays attention to the wider context of a person’s life, including how societal forces can affect wellbeing.

She emphasizes collaboration, respect, and compassion in sessions. Parents and caregivers who want clear, practical strategies and steady support may find her approach useful. JoDee is licensed in Washington as an LICSW.

She offers sessions in English and works with families and individuals around parenting and related concerns.

Approaches that translate well to online work

JoDee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments that can be done between sessions to build new habits.

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with stress, emotional regulation, and staying present during parenting challenges. Mindfulness exercises are brief and adaptable to daily routines, making them easy to practice at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. JoDee collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats let parents and caregivers fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to use the strategies developed in sessions amid family responsibilities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
