Jordan Achartz , LPCC

Jordan Achartz is a licensed professional counselor clinical candidate in Minnesota who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She combines clear conversation with pragmatic tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Jordan aims to make first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She uses a client-centered approach to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That means listening closely and tailoring sessions to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Jordan also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her work when people need tools for emotion regulation and clearer communication. She brings mindfulness strategies to help clients stay grounded and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding their own reasons to change or keep going.

Jordan has six years of professional experience working with a range of life concerns. She supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, career stress, and major life transitions. She also offers focused help for issues like codependency, guilt and shame, divorce and separation, and young adult challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jordan practices in Minnesota as an LPCC and works to keep sessions practical, calm, and grounded in each person’s goals.

How Jordan's Approaches Work Online

Jordan often blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques to make online sessions practical and goal oriented. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and adapting each session to what the person needs that day. Cognitive behavioral work looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces simple exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when teaching emotional regulation and stronger communication. DBT-style skills include grounding exercises, distress tolerance strategies, and step-by-step methods for handling intense emotions. Jordan treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences.

Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, practice between sessions, and when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options give flexibility so therapy can happen in ways that match daily routines and needs.
