About Jordan

Jordan Coleman is a licensed social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. He uses a calm, hopeful tone and helps people name problems, set small goals, and try practical steps that fit daily life. Jordan aims to make reaching out feel straightforward and doable for a worried parent.

He trained at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning a Master of Social Work.

Background and approach

Jordan also holds LCSW and LICSW credentials. He brings five years of professional experience and several years working in school settings to conversations about relationships and emotional care. In sessions he leans on client-centered listening.

That means he starts by hearing what matters most to the person in front of him and follows their pace. He pairs that with solution-focused work to help identify achievable next steps and with mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity and stress. Jordan describes himself as positive and relationship-minded.

He uses a straightforward, empathetic style that aims to clarify goals and move toward them. Parents often appreciate concrete tools for emotion management, communication, and routines that support family life. Practical matters are part of his approach.

Jordan offers a mix of live conversation and written check-ins to suit different schedules. He encourages people to take a small first step and see how the work fits their family and day-to-day demands.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to find their own direction during family or parenting struggles.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting immediately. This can reduce stress and help with anger, anxiety, and impulsive responses around family interactions.

Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes that can be tried right away. It supports parents and family members who want concrete steps to improve communication or daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to check in between meetings when needed. The variety also lets people choose how they feel most comfortable talking about sensitive family issues.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
