About Maudeen Jordan
Maudeen Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a long history of service in social work and counseling. She began her social work career in 1972 and has practiced as a counselor since 1990. Maudeen completed her graduate degree at California State University in San Jose and received her clinical social work license in 1990, earning the credential LCSW which denotes a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Her clinical background includes work with developmentally disabled children and their parents, a private practice supporting people living with depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and grief, and a role as a hospice bereavement coordinator where she counseled bereaved children, individuals and groups. That breadth of experience informs both her clinical and coaching work and contributes to a practical, compassionate approach to care.
Maudeen draws on personal experience as well as professional training. She has been married for 37 years and is a parent, and she served as a long-distance caregiver for her mother in her final years - an experience that deepened her understanding of caregiver needs and the importance of consistent self-care. Colleagues and clients note her warm, kind and approachable manner, and she frames therapy around the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. She emphasizes teamwork, small goal-oriented steps, and the client-centered work of identifying strengths to foster growth.
Her approach is eclectic, blending techniques that she finds effective. She values EMDR for trauma-related work and the client-centered stance that honors the client viewpoint. She often recommends journaling as a tool for self-understanding and self-compassion, and she commonly offers homework and communication skill suggestions families and individuals can practice between sessions. After closing her counseling office in 2018 and writing a book, Maudeen has been developing an online coaching practice and is willing to apply her life coaching skills when appropriate.
Religious and spiritual life are part of her identity; she practices meditation and yoga and respects a range of spiritual traditions. In grief work she has a particular interest in helping people reconcile shifts in their original beliefs and the guilt that can follow. Maudeen combines life experience with professional education to reflect what matters to clients and help them make choices aligned with their own goals.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care
Maudeen integrates client-centered therapy and EMDR into her online practice, tailoring methods to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to discover their own solutions - it helps people build confidence, self-understanding and clearer life direction. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-informed approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions, often used for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles at times to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maudeen works with clients to identify goals, preferences and the issues they want to address, then recommends techniques and a pace that fit each person. Together they adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexibility that supports busy lives and varied circumstances. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations or during life transitions. For many people, remote therapy increases access to licensed professionals and allows consistent work on goals without the need for in-person visits.
