About Maudeen
Maudeen Jordan uses a blend of client-centered work, cognitive tools, and mindfulness to help people move through hard spots. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with thirty years of counseling experience and a long history in social work. Maudeen writes plainly and will listen first, then suggest clear steps clients can try between sessions.
She trained at California State University in San Jose and completed her Oregon LCSW license in 1990.
Background and approach
Early work included supporting developmentally disabled children and their parents, which shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. She later ran a independent practice helping people with depression, anxiety, grief, post-traumatic stress, and related concerns. Maudeen also worked as a hospice bereavement coordinator, counseling bereaved children, individuals, and groups.
That experience deepened her focus on end-of-life issues, grief, and caregiving stress. She learned firsthand the strain of long-distance caregiving while supporting her mother in later years, and she emphasizes self-care for caregivers. Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods like EMDR for trauma, CBT techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts, and client-centered listening that highlights strengths.
She often gives journaling prompts and small homework tasks to build insight and new habits over time. Maudeen has written a book and moved some work online after closing her counseling office in 2018. She also offers life coaching when clients want goal-focused support alongside therapeutic work.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Maudeen draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and EMDR to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and building on each person’s strengths to set goals that matter. Cognitive behavioral work looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and gives straightforward exercises to change them. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, often paired with grounding and mindfulness tools.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s concerns, goals, and comfort level. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and body language. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief updates when time is tight. These formats make scheduling easier and let clients fit care into busy lives while using the therapist’s preferred techniques.
