About Amanda

Amanda Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at practical steps people can use right away.

Amanda emphasizes building self-regulation skills. She explains techniques in simple terms and practices them together with each person. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with room to talk through emotions and daily challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors. She also teaches calming skills and ways to manage strong feelings that come up in daily life.

Amanda adapts tools to fit each person’s situation. She helps with parenting strain, career stress, family conflict, and struggles tied to attachment or adoption history. She also supports people coping with anger, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, and complex grief.

Practical problem-solving is part of sessions. Clients might practice new routines, try behavioral experiments, or learn communication skills inspired by the Gottman Method. Progress is built in small, concrete steps.

Amanda works with adults who want to change how they handle stress and relationships. She uses plain language, steady guidance, and tried strategies to help people regain control and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Amanda commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered work means she focuses first on listening and understanding each person's experience, then shaping the work around their needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice thought and behavior patterns and try small experiments to shift them.

She also brings dialectical behavior therapy ideas into sessions, teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help when stress, anger, or intense emotions get in the way of daily functioning or relationships. Choosing which approaches to use is a team process; she will work with each person to find what fits best for their goals and preferences.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection, quick check-ins, or practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility and keep therapy usable around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
