Tricia Jordan , LMHC

Tricia Jordan is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of professional experience in Hawaii. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family strain, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Tricia uses a tailored approach in sessions. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she works with clients to shape conversations and strategies that fit their daily life. That can mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to handle stress, or learning skills to improve communication.

She draws from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are added when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Those methods are explained in plain language and practiced in simple, realistic steps.

Common topics she supports include blended family adjustments, divorce and separation concerns, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and life-purpose questions. She also has experience addressing sexual assault and abuse, forgiveness work, midlife transitions, and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's availability.

How Tricia Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online

Tricia blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people address real-life problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says so sessions match their priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful responses, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship worries.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on clear explanations, simple exercises, and real-world steps people can try between sessions.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into busy schedules. These options make it simpler to connect from different locations and to choose what feels most manageable for each person.
