About Maudeen
Maudeen Jordan is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oregon with 30 years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and people coping with life changes. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Jordan trained at California State University in San Jose and completed her LCSW in 1990. Early work included supporting developmentally disabled children and their parents. She later ran a private practice treating depression, PTSD, anxiety and grief, and served as a bereavement coordinator for a hospice program.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical methods. She uses elements of EMDR for trauma, cognitive behavioral ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness practices to steady attention. She often suggests journaling exercises and small communication practice to help people test new ways of relating and feeling.
Jordan describes counseling as a team effort. She encourages clients to set small steps toward concrete goals and offers occasional homework such as prompts for journaling or communication exercises to try with family and friends. She also draws on life coaching skills when that is helpful.
Her background includes long-term caregiving for a parent and years working in bereavement and hospice settings. That experience shapes how she talks about end-of-life concerns, guilt, forgiveness, and family of origin issues. Jordan names spirituality and religious practice as part of her life and says she respects clients' beliefs when those topics arise.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In an online setting this means building clear goals together and using conversation to uncover what the client already knows about themselves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new behaviors. Online sessions can include reviewing thought records, testing small behavior changes between sessions, and using journaling prompts as homework.
EMDR is an approach often used for post-traumatic stress that combines focused memory work with guided bilateral stimulation. When EMDR is used, the therapist explains each step and adapts pacing to the client's comfort and needs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and help decide whether client-centered work, CBT, EMDR, or mindfulness practices suit the current concern.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use written journaling exercises between meetings. The overall aim is to use practical methods that fit everyday life and goals.
