About Amanda
Amanda Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career or life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and focused on building practical skills people can use right away. She emphasizes self-regulation as a core coping skill and teaches concrete strategies to calm the body and mind.
Sessions use client-centered conversation alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Amanda also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central concerns.
Amanda adapts the pace and focus to each person. She listens for strengths, then helps clients try small, realistic changes between sessions.
That might mean practicing new communication habits, tracking thoughts that fuel anxiety, or rehearsing grounding exercises for overwhelming moments. Her long experience includes work across a range of settings and populations, which informs a flexible, practical style.
She aims to make sessions feel like a steady, problem-solving partnership rather than a lecture. Amanda prioritizes clear goals and measurable steps.
Clients can expect an honest, compassionate approach that balances emotional work with skill-building. The plan is always tailored to each person’s life, pace, and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Amanda uses the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and connection in relationships, focusing on specific behaviors and interaction skills that reduce conflict and build understanding. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities lead the conversation and choices about goals.She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, and practical coping around life changes. Together these approaches give a mix of emotional support, relationship skills, and concrete exercises aimed at everyday improvement. finding the right blend is part of the process; the therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for practicing communication and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging enable shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or quick skill rehearsals between appointments. These options create flexibility so therapy can fit into work, family, and life routines.
