Rebecca Jordan, LCSW

Rebecca Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker in California. She has seven years of experience as a therapist and many more years as a social worker. Rebecca focuses on common midlife concerns such as stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, and questions about career and relationships. She also helps people dealing with trauma, grief, sleep problems, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Rebecca aims for a calm, open atmosphere in sessions. She invites people to talk about what matters to them and listens without judgment. The work tends to be practical and down-to-earth, with attention to small steps that fit into a busy life.

Her approach blends several methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on each person’s experience.

Rebecca also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotions or relationships are central concerns. These approaches can help with emotion regulation and improving how people connect with others. She adapts techniques to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who choose Rebecca often want straightforward support during a transitional phase. She helps set realistic goals, build coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to stress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are hard. ACT can be useful for midlife decisions, career shifts, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is often used for sleep issues, anxiety, and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports growth.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the person's life and aims.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since they are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in between appointments, try short skill-building exercises during a break, or avoid travel time. The focus remains on setting clear goals, practicing skills, and tracking progress in day-to-day life.
