Kari Jordan , LMSW

Kari Jordan is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. She works with adults on issues like self-esteem, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and concerns related to women’s issues. Kari draws on practical skills and steady support to help clients take the next steps they want to make.

Kari has six years of clinical experience and a total of seven years in social services. Her background includes work with trauma, substance use, domestic violence, sexual assault, and LGBTQ+ concerns. She has also supported medical integration and behavioral health needs in varied settings.

In sessions she aims to build trust through openness and steady attention. She focuses on teaching skills people can use after therapy ends, such as emotion regulation, coping strategies, and communication tools. Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s goals rather than following a single fixed plan.

Kari uses practical methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She tailors these approaches to help with things like body image, eating-related issues, codependency, and recovery from loss or trauma.

People who choose Kari tend to want clear tools and a collaborative partner in making changes. She emphasizes a straightforward, respectful style and helps clients break goals into manageable steps. For those navigating transitions or identity questions, she offers steady guidance and real-world coping strategies.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s values and goals. It helps people feel heard and shapes work around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, stress, and eating concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, often shortened to DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kari will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust methods to fit each client. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, mindful practices, or motivational interviewing to support change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and detailed skill practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, sharing thoughts between sessions, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to get consistent care while balancing daily life.
