JoDee Keller

JoDee Keller, LICSW, is a Washington-licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience across Illinois, Iowa, and Washington. Much of her work has been rooted in school settings, supporting children and teens alongside parents and caregivers as they navigate school concerns, family stress, and peer relationships. She also brings experience from behavioral health services, where she has worked with adults living with chronic mental illness, as well as with college students of all ages facing a wide range of life transitions and pressures.

JoDee helps clients address concerns such as stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with change. Her style is grounded in the belief that people have the capacity to grow and often have an inner sense of what they need and when they are ready to take steps forward. To support that process, she draws on focused, short-term, problem-solving approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

JoDee also emphasizes the importance of context, including the role of relationships and community support in making change more sustainable. She recognizes that life challenges can be shaped by structural forces such as sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism. She aims to treat every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and the treatment plan to each client’s unique needs while offering steady support as they work toward a more fulfilling life.
