About Maudeen

Maudeen Jordan is an LCSW who brings three decades of counseling experience to her work. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression and ADHD-related challenges. Maudeen talks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

She trained at California State University, San Jose, and has worked in a range of settings since the 1970s. Early in her career she supported developmentally disabled children and their parents, then moved into independent practice for individuals facing depression, PTSD, anxiety and loss.

Background and approach

She also served as a hospice bereavement coordinator, counseling people in individual and group settings. Maudeen favors an eclectic, client-centered approach. She treats the person as the expert on their life, and offers tools and small steps that build toward real change.

She often uses journaling prompts and short homework between sessions to increase self-understanding and practical progress. Her methods include elements of cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, emotionally-focused work and EMDR for trauma-related symptoms. She also offers life coaching when that fits a person's goals, combining coaching skills with clinical experience to support clearer next steps.

Maudeen draws on long personal experience as a family caregiver and on spiritual and meditative practices she values. She emphasizes self-care for caregivers and helps people work through family-of-origin concerns, guilt and grief. She practices in Oregon and works in English, including with international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. In online sessions this often means talking through priorities, clarifying values and choosing small, doable steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical experiments. Online CBT commonly uses short exercises, thought records and homework that people can complete between video or text sessions to track progress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with feelings and attachment patterns to improve relationships and emotional regulation. In remote sessions the therapist and client work together to name emotions, practice new responses and rehearse healthier ways of connecting with others. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend methods that feel like a good fit. You and the therapist can adjust strategies over time based on what helps the most. Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins, coaching prompts or journaling feedback. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between sessions.
