About JoDee
JoDee Keller is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 20 years of professional experience. She has worked in schools and behavioral health settings across Illinois, Iowa, and Washington. JoDee helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Her work has included school-based support for children and youth and consultation with parents and caregivers. She has also supported adults with chronic mental illness and college students of many ages. This range informs how she notices practical barriers and family or school contexts that affect progress.
JoDee uses focused, problem-solving approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and motivational interviewing. She favors short-term, structured work that targets unhelpful thoughts and habits and tests new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are incorporated when they fit the persons goals.
She pays attention to social and structural factors that shape stress, including sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism. That context helps shape realistic plans and next steps. JoDee centers respect and sensitivity in conversations and adjusts the pace and focus based on what a person says they need.
Her practical aim is to help people notice patterns that get in the way, try alternatives, and build small routines that make daily life easier. To start, she asks about the immediate problem, current supports, and what change would look like for the person.
How her approaches translate to online work
JoDee commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing in a practical way. CBT focuses on noticing automatic thoughts and testing new behaviors in everyday situations. Motivational interviewing supports exploring readiness for change and strengthening personal reasons to try something different.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will ask about goals, current supports, and what has been tried before. Together she and the person decide which methods to emphasize and how to pace the work.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce commute time. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins while others choose video for more in-depth skill practice; JoDee will discuss which option fits the person's goals and daily routine.
