About Jodie
Jodie Spradlin is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Jodie aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can start making small, steady changes.
She uses clear, practical conversation to tailor a plan that fits each person's needs. Sessions emphasize real-life skills for handling panic, mood shifts, relationship strain, and coping after loss.
Background and approach
Jodie also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies and relationship-focused tools when helpful.
This mix helps with problems ranging from panic attacks to communication difficulties and attachment issues. Jodie pays attention to the whole picture, including issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and the challenges that come with divorce or separation. She also addresses money and life-purpose questions, guilt, and shame.
Conversations are practical and compassionate, focused on steps people can try between sessions. People who prefer a warm, down-to-earth approach may find her style a good match. She works with individuals seeking clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better ways to move forward after difficult experiences.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who struggle with anxiety, avoidance, or unclear goals by teaching them to accept difficult feelings and move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers step-by-step tools to reduce panic, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build new habits that ease anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jodie will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they adjust techniques and pacing as needed so the work feels useful and manageable over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to get support from home, work, or while traveling. Video lets people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to match a person's schedule and way of engaging in therapy.
