About Roosevelt

Roosevelt Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and addictions. He gives straightforward support for grief, trauma, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Roosevelt aims to build a trusting relationship first, using careful listening to understand what matters most to each person.

He works in English and is based in California. Roosevelt draws on 20 years of clinical practice as an LCSW.

Background and approach

He blends practical tools with deeper conversations to address patterns that keep people stuck. That can mean teaching simple coping skills, looking at how thoughts shape feelings, or exploring meaning and values when life feels uncertain. He also brings experience with process addictions, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and issues that arise with serious illness or end-of-life planning.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels hard or motivation is low. Mindfulness techniques are offered for managing stress, grounding, and reducing reactivity.

He treats a wide range of struggles including parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar mood concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include HIV and AIDS related needs, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, phobias, and personality disorder features.

Roosevelt works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and accepts international clients for online sessions. His California license is CA LCSW 28071.

How Roosevelt’s Methods Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping each person feel understood. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through parenting stress, relationship worries, or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and provides tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roosevelt will discuss options and tailor the plan based on a person’s goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. He works collaboratively to try strategies and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy days, travel, or when in-person visits are difficult. The variety of options supports steady work on parenting, stress, addiction recovery, and other concerns while keeping contact flexible and convenient for everyday life.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
