About Jordan
Jordan Achartz is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who centers therapy on the person in front of her. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling and begin to make sense of hard situations. Jordan emphasizes clear, practical steps that a parent or individual can use between sessions.
She carries six years of professional experience working with common life struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addictions.
Background and approach
Her practice pays particular attention to relationship and family concerns, including parenting challenges and communication problems. Jordan also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, and young adult transitions. She uses a mix of straightforward talk and skills practice so clients leave sessions with tools they can use right away.
Jordan draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches help with changing unhelpful thoughts, building emotion regulation skills, and improving motivation for change. She explains techniques plainly and helps clients try them out in real life.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online for people in Minnesota. Jordan encourages small steps and practical strategies, and she supports each person in figuring out what will work best for their life.
Therapeutic tools you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort through parenting stress, grief, or life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day stress. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, useful for relationship and control issues.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or a workday. Online formats also let people practice skills between sessions and check in in ways that suit their routine.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
