About Jodie
Jodie Spradlin is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Jodie adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical steps and clear goals instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. That can mean working on breathing and grounding for panic, reshaping unhelpful thoughts, or practicing new ways to communicate with others.
Her background includes work with people facing relationship challenges, grief, addiction, and trauma. She also supports those navigating intimacy questions, attachment concerns, and life transitions such as divorce or changes in family structure. Her practice addresses a range of issues from mood disorders to money and purpose concerns.
Jodie uses familiar, evidence-informed approaches like cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical skills and the Gottman Method tools when relationship work is needed. Those approaches are blended to match each person’s goals.
Seeking help can feel hard. Jodie aims to make the first steps manageable and practical. She works alongside people to build skills that can reduce panic and anxiety, improve mood, and support clearer decisions about relationships and life direction.
How Jodie’s Approaches Fit with Online Therapy
Jodie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and panic-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions people care about while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can reduce the struggle against anxiety and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and understanding, offering a space where someone can be heard and decide what changes matter most to them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Jodie will discuss goals and try methods that feel most useful. She partners with each person to shape a plan that matches their needs, preferences, and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or evenings.
