Jodie Spradlin, LMSW

Jodie Spradlin is a Michigan-licensed social worker (LMSW) with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and issues around relationships and intimacy. Anger and coping with life changes are also among the concerns she addresses.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on clear steps to reduce distress. She adapts how she talks and plans work with each person rather than following a single script.

Jodie uses evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques. That means sessions often combine noticing patterns of thought and behavior with learning concrete skills to respond differently. Mindfulness and emotion-regulation tools may be included when they fit the goals.

She has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, attachment concerns, and relationship problems. Practical topics like communication breakdowns, financial stress, and navigating separation or infidelity are part of her caseload. Jodie also lists experience supporting LGBT clients and people involved in alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. The focus is on small, manageable changes that reduce tension and improve day-to-day functioning. If someone wants to talk about anger specifically, she frames it as something to understand, reduce its harmful effects, and build better ways to respond.
