Jordanna Herrell , LPC, LPCC

Jordanna Herrell is a licensed professional counselor who works with adults from South Carolina and beyond. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to reduce immediate distress while building long-term coping skills.

Jordanna commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, attention difficulties, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people navigating trauma, mood disorders such as bipolar, sleep problems, anger, and questions around identity, including LGBT-related matters. Additional areas she addresses include OCD, panic, phobias, codependency, and issues tied to family of origin.

Her work centers on practical strategies and real-life change. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. She pairs that with acceptance-based methods and mindfulness to reduce struggle with difficult feelings and increase values-driven action.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and strengths-focused. Jordanna uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities, then offers tools from DBT, ACT, and motivational approaches when useful. She also brings experience supporting people involved in kink, and those managing co-occurring conditions like substance use and mood disorders.

People can expect clear goals, homework when it helps, and a focus on small, manageable steps. Jordanna describes therapy as a joint effort to build resilience, improve daily functioning, and move toward a more balanced life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. This approach is useful for stress, mood concerns, and life changes where motivation and purpose feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them through concrete behavioral experiments and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which pairs well with work on anger, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means adapting techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, and client-centered listening based on what helps an individual make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching-style reminders, and ongoing momentum between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while keeping sessions focused on measurable change.
