Amanda Jordan, LCSW

Amanda Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of professional experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life challenges. She holds an LCSW credential - a clinical social work license that denotes specialized training in mental health assessment and treatment - and focuses on building practical skills that clients can use day to day. Amanda works with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss including non-death related losses, career difficulties, relationship and family problems, parenting and blended family issues, and coping with major life changes.

Amanda emphasizes self-regulation as a foundational coping skill and uses multiple evidence-based methods to help clients develop emotional control, reduce reactivity, and increase resilience. She has substantial experience with adolescents, pre-teens and teens, as well as with adult clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and adapts conversation and treatment plans to each person or family she sees. Her style centers on vulnerability, supportive connection, and collaborative goal-setting to empower clients as they make changes and pursue well-being.

Amanda aims to provide a respectful, non-judgemental space for exploration and growth, helping people move from surviving toward more intentional and satisfying ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Skills Building

Amanda uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client’s goals guide the work; this approach emphasizes listening, validation, and tailoring interventions to what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical strategies to change thinking and behavior, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amanda works together with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve. That collaborative stance helps clients stay engaged and make measurable changes.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
