About Jodie

Jodie Spradlin is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 10 years of practice. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and depression. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth.

She aims to make each step feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. She shapes conversations to match each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-minded, with space for empathy and real problem solving.

Background and approach

Jodie listens for what matters most and helps set small, doable steps toward change. Her work draws on proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking, practice clearer choices, and focus on values that matter to them.

She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when those approaches fit the goals. Jodie has supported people through grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma, and major life changes. She also addresses topics such as attachment, adoption and foster care, communication problems, intimacy issues, and finances.

She tailors tools and homework to each person’s daily life. Conversations are collaborative and paced to your comfort. If you want practical coping tools, clearer communication, or help moving through painful feelings, she aims to support you step by step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when strong feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce distress and improve mood. The Gottman Method brings concrete communication and relationship skills that can help partners argue less and connect more.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try out strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. You decide what feels useful, and she supports changes at a steady, manageable pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and parenting demands. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions work when screens aren’t practical, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.

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.

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.

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.
