About Jade Dodde
Jade Dodde, LMSW, is a Michigan-based licensed social worker with 8 years of experience supporting adults through stressful and emotionally demanding seasons of life. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, major life transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance use, family stress, self-harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts, and the impact of significant trauma.
Although she has experience working with children and adolescents, her primary focus is helping adults make sense of their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and move toward a life that feels steadier and more meaningful. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, with an emphasis on respecting each person as the expert on their own life, even when clarity or confidence feels out of reach.
In sessions, Jade aims to create a supportive space that avoids judgment and rigid advice. Instead, she helps clients slow down, reflect, and build practical skills that can increase a sense of grounding and control. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and concrete coping tools to support growth and day-to-day stability. She also has additional training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients work through trauma and intense emotions in structured, manageable ways. Together, she and clients set goals that are realistic, measurable, and aligned with what matters most to them.

Evidence-Based Tools, Built for Online Support
Online therapy with Jade Dodde, LMSW, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways to respond, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress during life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, often helping when feelings are intense or hard to manage. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward personal values, supporting clients who want change without getting stuck in self-criticism or avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jade works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify what is most important to them, and choose strategies that fit their preferences, pace, and current challenges. The focus stays practical and personalized, with room to adjust as needs evolve.
Online therapy also offers flexibility and accessibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format feels easier. These options can make it simpler to stay consistent with support while balancing work, family responsibilities, or changing schedules.
