Jade Dodde, LMSW

Jade Dodde is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship strain. She focuses on building steady routines, practical coping skills, and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.

She brings eight years of clinical experience in Michigan. Jade centers sessions on collaboration and respect. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and uses straightforward tools rather than judgment or rigid advice.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance and mindfulness strategies and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. That blend is used to address emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and repeated behaviors that cause pain. When trauma is part of the story, she uses structured methods to help process difficult memories at a tolerable pace.

In sessions she focuses on setting realistic, measurable goals and practicing small changes between meetings. Conversations emphasize skill building - for managing stress, improving sleep and eating habits, coping with grief, or reducing compulsive behaviors. Parents and people dealing with adoption or blended family issues can expect practical support aimed at everyday challenges.

Jade also supports people facing burnout, first responder stress, ADHD, and addiction concerns. Her style remains warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on curiosity, steady progress, and tools people can use outside of therapy.

Online therapy approaches and what they do

Jade draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and build a life that matches their values. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts while committing to actions that reflect what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jade will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than relying on one set method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and different life demands.
