Jodie Spradlin

Jodie Spradlin is a Michigan licensed social worker with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, and anger. Jodie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and aims to tailor conversations and plans to fit individual needs.

Her style is practical and straightforward. She listens first to understand what matters most to the client. Then she and the client decide on small, manageable steps to try between sessions. Jodie frames progress as steady effort rather than quick fixes.

Jodie draws on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when helpful. These approaches inform how she helps people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

She has additional focus in areas like attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, intimacy-related topics including BDSM and kink, and challenges around money, life purpose, and family conflict. Jodie also supports people facing panic attacks, mood disorders, and relationship ruptures such as infidelity or divorce.

People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist may find her approach useful. She emphasizes building coping skills and clearer communication so clients can handle daily stresses and major life changes more effectively.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodie will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She combines listening with clear skill-building so clients can test what helps most and adjust the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people choose online care to make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, to join from different locations, or to use shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach skills, practice conversations, and track progress much like in office sessions, while focusing on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and improve relationships.
