Maudeen Jordan, LCSW, offers a warm, person-centered approach that helps people build self-esteem and handle life’s hard moments. She draws on decades of clinical social work and counseling to support practical change. Her style is kind and down-to-earth and she treats clients as the expert on their own lives.
Maudeen began her social work career in 1972 and earned her License in Clinical Social Work in 1990. She has worked across settings including developmental disability services, independent practice for mood and trauma concerns, and hospice bereavement programs. That range gives her experience with grief, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and caregiving strain.
In sessions she uses an eclectic mix of methods that fit the person in front of her. She values client-centered methods that highlight strengths, cognitive-behavioral ideas that change unhelpful thinking, and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. She often assigns brief homework such as journaling to speed insight and build self-compassion.
Her background also includes bereavement coordination and attention to family-of-origin concerns and caregiving. She combines life coaching tools with clinical skills for practical problem solving around career, relationships, parenting, and purpose. Maudeen draws on her own caregiving experience when helping others face loss and role change.
People who choose her can expect straightforward guidance, suggested exercises between meetings, and an emphasis on small steps that add up to lasting change. She works from Oregon and provides services in English.
How Maudeen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. The therapist follows your lead, highlights your strengths, and helps you take small steps toward goals like stronger self-esteem or clearer life direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns that keep you stuck and introduces doable exercises to change thinking and behavior. It helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma-related memories and distress. It involves guided processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories and build more adaptive reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps. Clients often combine elements from different approaches to match their goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available formats before you book. The practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling around jobs or caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that reduce travel. Online work can support regular progress through brief homework, journaling prompts, and direct coaching between meetings.
