About Joanne (Jody) Girou

I am a licensed MSW in the state of Michigan and have worked in the social work field for over 20 years working with children and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of support needed in the areas of ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Parenting, Depression, Relationship Issues and Trauma. My therapy style is supportive, non-judgmental and relaxed. Seeking counseling is not always an easy thing to do, so I want my clients to feel at ease during our sessions. My approach includes many different styles of intervention, but most importantly it is person centered and I focus on using client's strength to help their healing. I look forward to working with you!

“Jody's great so far. We've only done two sessions, so I would say you're gonna have to wait a few sessions so I can submit a properly informed perspective.”

“What really stands out is how caring, patient, and genuinely invested she is ,in helping us grow—not just as a couple, but as individuals. Jody never made either of us feel blamed or criticized, and she always has a wonderful way of helping us see things from each other’s perspective. Therapy can be intimidating but our counselor made us feel comfortable supported and hopeful. I definitely recommend her !!!:)”

“She has done an amazing job listening and giving great advice!”

“Jody is amazing! She’s genuine, relatable, and she just *gets it*.Her therapy style is exactly what I was hoping to find when I joined Regain. She’s engaging, funny, caring, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to talk to. I especially appreciate the way she interacts with me and my partner; she offers meaningful insight and practical advice while still making our sessions feel like a real conversation. She’s definitely not the stereotypical therapist who sits back, looks down at a notepad through their reading glasses, and occasionally glances up at you like you’re a lab rat being studied. Jody is present, personable, and truly invested in the conversation. She’s a rare gem, and I’m so glad I found her!”

“She is a very real and authentic listener”

“I clicked with her immediately, which made it easy to open up and engage in the process. She approaches issues with a wide range of insight and offers perspectives I often wouldn’t have considered on my own. I genuinely look forward to our sessions, and I always leave feeling a little better than when I arrived. I’m grateful for her thoughtful, compassionate approach and highly recommend her.”

“Jody connects with you where you are. She’s insightful and caring.”

“Jody is a great listener and really understands relationships. Very helpful. ”

“She’s been great to have! I feel like we are going to learn some great communication techniques and better ourselves ”

“Jody was able to kindly help me through a difficult time in my life. She gave me the tools needed to navigate family issues and my ADHD and was always so open and sweet along the way. Her relaxed nature makes it easy to talk through issues. ”

“My significant other and I just finished our second session with Jody. I appreciate the welcoming environment she provides so we have a neutral space to share and grow as a couple.”

“I like her bedside manner. It fits with my personality. ”
