Jeffrey Haddock

Jeffrey Haddock is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of professional experience. He uses practical therapy methods to help people manage strong emotions and everyday struggles. He is straightforward and respectful in sessions and aims to make starting therapy feel doable.

His work focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and anger. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar mood differences. He adapts the conversation and treatment to each person rather than using one fixed approach.

Jeffrey draws on several everyday therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical strategies for emotion regulation, and attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. He mixes these tools to fit a person’s goals and pace. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning practical skills, and trying new ways of handling difficult moments.

He emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental manner and works to make the therapy plan clear. People who want skill-based tools for anger or better ways to cope with life changes often find this style useful. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he offers steady guidance through that process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behavioral habits to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It tends to be practical and skill oriented. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how earlier connections influence current reactions; it can help people who notice repeating relationship problems or strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and what feels helpful. That collaborative planning often starts with a simple discussion of what is most urgent and what skills the person wants to learn.

The therapist's profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to proceed with skills practice between sessions and to use tools like worksheets, guided exercises, and emotion-regulation routines during the work together.
