Background and approach

Her work often centers on relationships and family concerns, including communication problems, forgiveness, and infidelity. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and workplace stress. Veterans and those connected to the armed forces can find specific attention to their needs.

Jordan uses approaches that help people change what they can and accept what they cannot control. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior methods. Motivational interviewing and client-centered conversation shape how she helps people make progress.

In sessions she focuses on real-world tools for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. The aim is to leave each meeting with clear, practical steps you can try between sessions. Jordan balances compassion with straightforward problem solving to support lasting change.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard. It helps people living with stress, anxiety, or big life changes by teaching how to move forward despite discomfort.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a hands-on method for spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and parenting-related worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jordan will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best. She talks through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjusts the plan as needed so it matches real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or video would be distracting. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or when someone prefers written conversation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity between sessions.
