About JoDee
JoDee Keller, LICSW, focuses on helping parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life changes. She uses simple, practical strategies to address everyday struggles like parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and coping after loss. Her tone is direct and supportive, aimed at people who need straightforward help right now.
JoDee brings 20 years of experience in schools and behavioral health across Illinois, Iowa, and Washington. Much of her work has involved supporting parents, caregivers, youth, and college students with school or family-related concerns.
Background and approach
She has also worked with adults managing chronic mental health conditions. Her practice emphasizes short-term, problem-solving methods. JoDee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to set clear goals and practical steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with tools you can try between meetings. She also pays attention to the bigger picture that shapes people’s lives. JoDee recognizes how sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism affect stress and decision-making.
She aims to listen with respect and adapt plans to each person’s situation. Therapy with JoDee centers on collaboration. She helps clients name priorities, try new strategies, and build on strengths.
For parents, this often means improving communication, reducing overwhelm, and finding workable routines. Taking the first step can feel hard. JoDee offers steady, empathetic support while focusing on clear, manageable change.

Approaches that fit parenting and everyday stress
JoDee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change them into actions that work better. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, testable changes you can try between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build calm and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills that help with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and parenting moments that feel intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. JoDee will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods to fit each person. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls let you have a full face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when a video setup is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping progress between longer appointments.
These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, and caregiving. JoDee combines practical therapeutic tools with online formats so clients can build routines and try strategies that suit their daily life.
