JoDee Keller, LICSW

JoDee Keller is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington with 20 years of professional experience. She has worked in Illinois, Iowa, and Washington across schools and behavioral health settings. JoDee helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting questions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

She has spent much of her career in school settings, working with children, youth, and parents or caregivers. That experience includes supporting young people with school problems, peer relationships, and family challenges. She has also worked in behavioral health with adults who have chronic mental illness and with college students of many ages.

JoDee uses focused, short-term, problem-solving methods. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing in sessions. These approaches aim to identify practical steps and small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.

She pays attention to the wider context around a person. That includes how sexism, racism, heterosexism, and classism can shape stress and opportunities. She believes change is more achievable with others' support and with an understanding of structural challenges.

In conversations she centers respect and sensitivity. JoDee works with people on concrete goals like improving communication, managing caregiver stress, reducing social anxiety, and addressing grief or trauma. She helps clients think through what feels workable and when they are ready to try something different.
