About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Haddock is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 14 years of practice. He uses Narrative-informed work alongside other practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. He approaches each person with respect and sensitivity.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take small, values-based actions. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to focus on relationships and what matters to the person.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to the individual rather than following one strict protocol. In sessions he listens for patterns in a person's story and helps rewrite those patterns into more useful ways of living. He stays practical, offering tools for emotion regulation, grounding after traumatic memories, and strategies for coping with life changes.
He also supports people working through issues like addiction, parenting strain, eating concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. Jeffrey frames therapy as a collaborative process. He works with clients to set goals, test different approaches, and adjust plans when needed.
Progress tends to come from small changes repeated over time, not instant fixes. He emphasizes plain talk and clear next steps. If a parent or person is worried about starting therapy, he aims to make the first meeting focused and manageable.
The work starts with one conversation and a simple plan for what comes next.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT translate to online therapy
Jeffrey combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based perspectives in ways that work well online. Narrative work focuses on noticing the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, then testing new storylines that fit better with their values. ACT helps people recognize unhelpful thoughts and take small, value-driven actions even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based concepts look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations in everyday life. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That process is the point - finding a fit that feels useful and realistic for the person's life. Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or paced communication for people who find written words easier. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or parenting while still using narrative, ACT, and attachment-based techniques in everyday life.Common questions about this listing
