About Maudeen
Maudeen Jordan is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 30 years of counseling experience in Oregon. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as guilt and shame. She combines counseling and coaching perspectives to help people sort through what matters most to them.
Maudeen began social work in 1972 and completed her LCSW in 1990 after graduate study at California State University, San Jose. Her clinical history includes work with developmentally disabled children and their parents, private practice for mood and trauma concerns, and serving as a bereavement coordinator in hospice settings. She has long experience supporting people through end-of-life issues and loss.
Her approach mixes client-centered work with practical methods. She values EMDR for post-traumatic stress, and uses elements of cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful. She often suggests journaling and simple communication exercises to clarify feelings and practice new responses.
Maudeen describes herself as both religious and spiritual and respects spiritual practices as part of some people’s healing. She also draws on meditation and yoga as personal resources and may bring that perspective into sessions if it fits the client’s goals.
She closed a counseling office in 2018, wrote a book, and is now developing an online coaching practice. Maudeen aims to work collaboratively, offering questions, homework, and gentle challenges to support practical change and clearer self-understanding.
How her approaches translate to online work
Maudeen uses client-centered methods and evidence-informed techniques to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation focuses on the person’s perspective and strengths. It helps when someone needs a place to sort out values, decisions, or feelings without being judged.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR for trauma-related concerns. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces small experiments and skills you can practice between sessions. EMDR is used for post-traumatic stress and involves structured processing of distressing memories with guided attention techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that seems most useful. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work proceeds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into weekdays, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it practical to try remote sessions first and then decide what rhythm and length of meeting suits their life.
