Jade Dodde

Jade Dodde is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps adults find steadiness during difficult seasons. She frames sessions around practical skills and steady support, aiming to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes.

Jade focuses on helping clients make sense of their stories and build routines that feel manageable. She uses clear tools for emotional regulation and practical steps for everyday problems like sleep, eating, and work stress. Conversations are warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative rather than judgmental.

Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas. She blends mindfulness, solution-focused work, and concrete coping skills so people can practice new habits between sessions. EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy-informed techniques are also part of her toolkit for processing intense emotions and trauma when appropriate.

Jade has eight years of clinical experience working with adults on issues including bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses additional topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and first responder concerns.

Sessions emphasize realistic, measurable goals that connect to the life a client wants to build. Jade invites clients to slow down, notice patterns, and try small changes that lead to greater stability and meaning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process upsetting memories in a paced way, often using structured methods to reduce the intensity of past events and improve daily functioning. It can be useful for people coping with abuse, serious loss, or long-standing trauma.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes living in line with what matters most.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying skills-based CBT exercises, grounding tools from trauma work, or value-driven tasks from ACT and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find that online appointments make it easier to fit work and life demands into a routine and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also supports practicing tools between sessions and bringing real-life challenges straight into conversation for practical problem solving.
