About Maudeen

Maudeen Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of counseling experience. She centers work around people’s stories and helps them find clearer ways to manage stress, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth.

She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for parents and busy adults. She trained at California State University in San Jose and has worked in many settings since 1972.

Background and approach

Early career roles included work with developmentally disabled children and their parents. Later she ran a independent practice focused on depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and bereavement and served as a hospice bereavement coordinator. Maudeen uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences.

She values eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma and often suggests journaling as a tool to build self-understanding and self-compassion. Homework and simple communication exercises are commonly used between sessions. Her personal experience caring for a parent at the end of life shaped her interest in hospice work, caregiver self-care, aging issues, and grief that ties to faith and belief.

She also supports people facing family of origin problems, parenting stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Maudeen blends clinical skills with life coaching when helpful and describes therapy as a team effort. She works with people in Oregon and accepts international clients.

Sessions are offered in English via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Narrative and Practical Approaches Delivered Online

Maudeen often blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered and cognitive techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and decide which parts to keep or change; it can be useful for life transitions, loss, and identity questions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person so they can find their own answers. Cognitive methods help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and create concrete steps to ease anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about goals, values, and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether journaling, homework exercises, trauma-focused techniques, or coaching-style work will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are helpful for quick check-ins, short coaching prompts, or when written reflection fits your routine. These options make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
