Maudeen Jordan, LCSW - Therapist in Oregon

About Maudeen

Maudeen Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a practical, person-focused style. She draws on decades of counseling to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on small, doable steps.

Parents and caregivers who worry about family issues and parenting will find a calm presence and clear suggestions to try at home. She trained at California State University in San Jose and completed her LCSW in 1990.

Background and approach

Maudeen began social work in 1972 and moved into counseling work in 1990, bringing long-term experience across settings. Her background includes work with developmentally disabled children and their parents, independent practice for mood and trauma concerns, and bereavement coordination for hospice programs. Maudeen uses an eclectic mix of approaches.

She values eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - EMDR - for trauma, and a client-centered way of listening that emphasizes each person’s strengths. Cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices also appear in sessions when they fit the goals. She encourages practical tools like journaling and small communication experiments you can try with family members.

Homework is offered when it helps move toward clear goals. Maudeen also blends life coaching skills into her work when clients want that kind of forward focus. Her experience includes hospice bereavement work and supporting caregivers through end-of-life situations.

Maudeen speaks openly about her own role as a long-distance family caregiver, which informs her emphasis on caregiver self-care and realistic steps for maintaining balance.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life concerns

Maudeen combines several well-established methods to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building on a person’s strengths; it helps when someone needs clear reflection and support to decide what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to shift patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used when traumatic memories are causing ongoing distress and can be adapted to an online format with careful preparation.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest methods to try together. Sessions may blend styles so the plan fits a person’s situation rather than forcing a single technique.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work more practical. These options allow people to fit sessions into busy family schedules, reduce travel, and revisit notes or exercises between meetings. The variety of formats can make it easier to keep consistent momentum toward the goals you set.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
