About Amanda
Amanda Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, and the everyday challenges that pile up when life changes. She speaks plainly and helps people find steady ways to manage strong emotions.
She uses simple, practical tools to build self-regulation skills. Sessions often include breathing and mindfulness practices, skills to manage intense emotions, and ways to break unhelpful thinking patterns. She adapts methods to fit each person's needs and goals.
Background and approach
Amanda has worked across many settings and with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, career problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and ADHD challenges. Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
She also uses mindfulness and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are part of the work. Conversations are collaborative and geared toward clear, doable steps. Sessions focus on what is helpful now and what skills can be used daily.
Amanda helps people practice new ways of coping until those ways feel natural. That practical focus aims to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Amanda draws from client-centered therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what clients say, and helping people set their own goals so the work fits their values and daily life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, helping when feelings become overwhelming or when relationships feel unstable.
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try techniques in-session, and adjust methods based on what works best. That collaborative search helps tailor treatment to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session fits a short break. Live chat and messaging allow frequent check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
