Jodie Spradlin

Jodie Spradlin is a Michigan licensed social worker with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. Jodie approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to help them take practical steps forward.

She adapts conversations and plans to match each person's needs and goals. That means talking through what matters most to you and choosing tools that fit your life. Jodie helps people manage intense feelings, navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, and cope with big life changes such as separation or loss.

Her work also covers substance and behavioral addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and panic symptoms. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, communication problems, and complexities around kink and alternative sexual culture. She also supports people dealing with money stress, life purpose questions, infidelity, and forgiveness.

Jodie uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. She draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques, client-centered conversation, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior and relationship-focused methods. Together these approaches aim to build clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and stronger relationship skills.

People who want straightforward guidance and a collaborative partner often benefit from her style. She encourages small, manageable changes and supports people as they try new ways of coping and relating.

How Jodie's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them block meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Jodie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide what to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
