About Jodie

Jodie Spradlin is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with a decade of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She concentrates on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and related issues, and helps clients address practical problems such as communication, financial stress, and life transitions. Her work also includes addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care complexities, and explorations of sexuality including BDSM and kink when relevant.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate collaboration; she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Jodie draws on several evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, ACT, CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to help clients build skills, process difficult emotions, and clarify values.

Seeking change can feel daunting, and she aims to offer steady support and practical tools for those ready to take those steps toward greater wellbeing.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Jodie blends Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered practices to guide online work. Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to the inner parts that influence feelings and behavior, useful for processing trauma, shame, or conflicting impulses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-direction concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and present concerns and then tailor a mix of methods that fits that person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique. This shared planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and productive from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and comfort with communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow licensed professionals to provide regular support and skills practice across sessions.
