JoDee Keller, LICSW

JoDee Keller is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 20 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and changes that come with different life stages. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship struggles, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and purpose.

JoDee draws on focused, short-term methods that aim for clear, practical change. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to help clients make manageable shifts. Mindfulness methods are also part of her work when slowing down and noticing patterns helps move things forward.

Her background includes work in schools with children, youth, parents, and caregivers, plus roles in behavioral health supporting adults with chronic mental illness and college students of all ages. That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach in sessions. JoDee pays attention to how family, school, work, and social systems shape individual struggles.

She honors the impact of sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism on people’s lives and brings sensitivity to those concerns. JoDee says change often happens more easily with support, so she involves your context when it helps. She focuses on creating a plan that fits each person’s situation and readiness.

Starting therapy is a brave step and JoDee aims to make the process clear and manageable. She works to tailor conversation and goals so clients can take steady steps toward greater confidence and wellbeing.

How JoDee’s approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and routines like parenting or work habits. Mindfulness Therapy centers on present-moment awareness and simple practices to calm reactivity and notice patterns that keep problems going. It can help with stress, emotion regulation, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. JoDee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a problem-focused plan for a few sessions, then adding mindfulness or motivational interviewing to build motivation and sustain change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their day, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or remove commuting time. JoDee’s short-term, practical orientation is well suited to remote work where clear goals, homework, and regular check-ins help steady progress while balancing caregiving and other responsibilities.
