About Jade
Jade Dodde is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, substance use, trauma, and family or relationship strain. Jade works directly with practical problems and everyday struggles rather than using clinical language in session.
She prefers clear, structured sessions that focus on skills people can try between meetings. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. Jade draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to build step-by-step coping skills and emotional regulation strategies.
Jade helps people set realistic, measurable goals. She uses short exercises, behavioral experiments, and straightforward reflection to track progress. When trauma or intense emotions are present, she can use DBT-informed skills and EMDR-informed methods to help process those experiences at a tolerable pace.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She centers the person’s own knowledge about their life and focuses on practical changes that reduce distress. Conversations aim to be direct and useful, with an emphasis on small, repeatable practices.
People who prefer concrete tools and clear steps to manage mood, attention, or relationship problems may find her approach helpful. She invites clients to try options, notice what works, and adjust plans as needed.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Jade uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - noticing patterns, trying experiments, and reviewing what changed - which can be easy to structure in remote work.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to clarify values and build committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT exercises often involve brief mindfulness practices and concrete value-based goals that translate well to online check-ins. Attachment-Based Therapy helps when relationship patterns cause repeated conflict or distress by looking at how early bonds and current relationships shape reactions and expectations.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together so therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide when CBT, ACT, or attachment-focused work is most useful.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use video or phone depending on what fits daily life. Those practical benefits can help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy routines.
