About Amanda
Amanda Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and the strain of life changes. Parents and adults often turn to her for help with self-esteem, career challenges, relationship problems, and coping after trauma or loss.
She favors practical skills and steady support. Amanda emphasizes self-regulation and teaches tools people can use every day. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and real-world practice rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
Amanda draws on client-centered work to shape sessions around each person's needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people stay grounded in the moment.
Her background spans long-term work with diverse populations and many settings. That experience informs a flexible approach to problems like family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses less common topics such as kink and alternative sexual culture in a nonjudgmental way.
Amanda works with people facing parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, communication and control issues, and the impacts of domestic violence or separation. She adapts strategies to fit each person’s life and goals, and she partners with clients to track progress and adjust plans as needed.

Evidence-based approaches and online support
Amanda uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs and experience. This approach emphasizes listening, collaboration, and shaping the plan around what matters most to the client.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, and managing day-to-day stress. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered to help with emotional regulation, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Amanda treats it as a team effort. She will talk through goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The focus is on practical skills and steady progress together.
Online therapy lets people access those approaches in flexible ways. Video calls allow face-to-face work and role-play, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging support ongoing coaching and between-session check-ins. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, parenting, or caregiving demands.
