Background and approach

Parenting and pregnancy-related challenges such as postpartum depression are included in her focus areas. Her work often involves clarifying values and setting small, doable goals. She draws on approaches that teach skills for day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

Sessions emphasize what someone can try between meetings to notice progress. Jordan also gives attention to forgiveness, infidelity, and family problems when those issues come up. She has experience with concerns tied to military or veteran life.

Compassion fatigue is a point of focus for people feeling burned out by caregiving demands. People who prefer active, solution-minded conversations tend to fit well with Jordan. She listens carefully and adapts strategies based on what each person says works for them.

Her aim is to help people build routines and habits that reduce stress over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where motivation or direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting and testing the thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood, and then practicing new behaviors to change outcomes. This method often helps with immediate symptom relief and building useful habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person speaking, offering active listening and empathy so clients can find their own answers and feel heard.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of therapy. Jordan will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides what is tried in sessions and what homework or exercises make sense between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, brief coping check-ins, or times when a full session is hard to schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when routines change.
