About JoDee
JoDee Keller is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She draws on two decades of experience in schools and behavioral health to offer straightforward, practical support. JoDee values respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach when people are ready to make changes.
Her work often focuses on short-term, problem-solving methods that aim to build motivation and small, usable steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing also shape sessions when the goal is clearer direction and stronger commitment to change.
JoDee has worked with children, youth, parents and caregivers in school settings, as well as adults with chronic mental health issues and college students. That range informs how she sees challenges - both personal coping and the larger social forces that affect people, such as sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism.
In sessions she pays attention to the whole situation, not just symptoms. She will tailor conversation and plans to each person’s needs, whether the focus is parenting, workplace stress, relationships, grief, or building self-esteem. JoDee aims to make change feel achievable, one step at a time.
JoDee is licensed in Washington as an LICSW and practices with an emphasis on practical skills, collaboration, and compassion. If you want someone who listens and helps set clear next steps, she can be a steady partner in that work.
How these approaches translate to online work
JoDee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that increase stress or anxiety and to try different behaviors to see what helps. This approach is useful for worrying, low mood, and social anxiety because it focuses on clear, testable changes in thinking and action.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people slow down and notice bodily and mental signals without judgement, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with grief, trauma reminders, or workplace strain. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify personal goals and strengthen commitment when people feel stuck or uncertain about change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. JoDee treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods match your needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors discussion and exercises so they fit your situation and pace.
