Jade Dodde , LMSW

Jade Dodde is a Licensed Master Social Worker who focuses on helping people through stressful and painful life moments. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction, or big life changes. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life.

Jade uses simple, steady methods to help clients feel more in control. Sessions focus on building coping skills, noticing patterns that cause pain, and setting small, useful goals. She believes clients know their own lives best, and the work is a team effort to find what helps.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and reconnect people to values that matter. She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are applied when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Jade has eight years of clinical experience in Michigan as an LMSW. She supports people dealing with issues such as trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She also offers help around adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and forgiveness work.

Sessions are conversational and focused on usable steps. Jade emphasizes pacing - moving at a rate that feels manageable while still creating change. Her aim is to help clients build steadiness, clearer priorities, and more satisfying day-to-day routines.

Online approaches that focus on values, skills, and relationships

Jade uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values, even when emotions are difficult.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and expectations, which can be useful for intimacy, parenting, or family stress. These approaches are explained and tried collaboratively so the client and therapist can decide what fits best for the person's goals and situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and deeper coaching, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat support ongoing reflection and quick coping check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, caregiving demands, work breaks, or when getting to an office is difficult.
