About Maudeen
Maudeen Jordan, LCSW, brings a practical, person-centered approach to therapy. She emphasizes collaboration and gentle coaching to help people take small, meaningful steps toward their goals. Her style is warm and approachable and she draws on decades of experience to guide difficult conversations.
Maudeen trained at California State University, San Jose, and completed her License in Clinical Social Work in 1990. She has worked with developmentally disabled children and their parents and ran a private practice focused on depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, and related concerns. She also served as a bereavement coordinator in Hospice, counseling individuals, children, and groups facing end-of-life loss.
Her approach is eclectic and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions. Maudeen values EMDR when trauma is present and uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to support change without pressure.
She often offers journaling prompts and small homework tasks to build insight and track progress. She also shares communication exercises clients can try with family and friends. Those tools are offered as part of a collaborative plan shaped around each person's needs.
Maudeen blends life experience with professional training. She is comfortable discussing spiritual and religious concerns and has a background supporting caregivers and people facing end-of-life issues. Her goal is to reflect what matters to the client and help them find workable steps forward.

How Maudeen’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Maudeen uses Motivational Interviewing to help people uncover their own reasons for change and to set goals they feel ready to try. This approach is conversational and helps when motivation feels stuck. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and following the client's perspective so sessions feel person-led and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to practice concrete strategies for managing mood and anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. The plan can change as progress or challenges emerge, and Maudeen aims for a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing commute time and allowing sessions during breaks or between obligations. It can also let someone pick a quieter space, choose shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera for part of a session. These practical choices help therapy fit daily routines while keeping the focus on meaningful steps forward. -
