About Tricia
Tricia Jordan is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of professional experience based in Hawaii. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and related life transitions. She approaches work with respect and sensitivity to each person’s situation.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first to understand what is most pressing, then helps set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to the family or parental challenges you describe, and she adapts tools to fit your daily life. Tricia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where people feel heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive.
These methods are used together to address family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the effects of past trauma. Common topics she helps with include blended family issues, divorce and separation, communication problems, and parenting struggles. She also works with concerns like forgiveness, isolation, midlife questions, and women’s issues, including recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Her approach emphasizes practical steps and ongoing support. She works with clients to build skills they can use between sessions. The aim is steady, manageable change so families can function better and parents can feel more confident.
Approaches that work well online for families and parents
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows each person’s lead, reflects what is heard, and helps families clarify their goals. This approach is useful when parents need a calm space to talk through hard choices and emotions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT can be effective for anxiety, stress, and patterns that harm family communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and usually happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and what fits your family routine. Together you decide whether to focus more on listening and support or on skill-building and behavior change, or a blend of both.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around parenting and family life. They also let people continue work during busy seasons or when travel to an office is difficult. Many families find that flexible online sessions help them use what they learn in real time at home.
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.
