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 focuses on practical problems people bring in day to day, including stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, grief, and anger.
She has extensive experience with children, youth, parents and caregivers from school-based work. She has also worked with adults who have chronic mental illness and with college students of different ages. That background shapes a straightforward, problem-focused style that emphasizes what works now.
JoDee favors short-term, goal-oriented approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing to help people identify small, doable changes. She also blends mindfulness practices to help manage stress and strong emotions.
She pays attention to the broader context of a person's life. That means looking at relationships, community supports, and structural pressures like sexism or classism that affect daily coping. Treatment plans are adjusted as conversations progress rather than following a fixed script.
Clients can expect clear, practical steps and regular check-ins on progress. JoDee views change as a process people are ready for at different times, and she works alongside them to clarify goals and try approaches that fit their routines.
How sessions work
How JoDee's approaches translate online
JoDee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing in her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce stress and reactive responses. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s strengths and reasons for change, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about trying new habits.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation and noticing tension before it becomes overwhelming. These practices are brief and practical, often involving simple breathing or attention exercises you can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. JoDee will talk with each person about goals and try strategies that fit their daily life. She checks in on what helps and adjusts plans as needed, so the work reflects preferences and realistic steps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use techniques at home or during a break. Discuss format preferences during the matching process to pick what fits best.
