How Gary works
Over his career he has worked in community mental health, inpatient settings, nursing homes, corporations, and independent practice. His style is straightforward and focused on understanding what keeps someone stuck. He listens closely and helps people name painful patterns that began long ago.
He then works with them to change negative self-talk and repetitive behaviors that cause ongoing distress. Dr. Jordan draws on client-centered, existential, psychodynamic, and solution-focused approaches.
That means sessions combine attentive listening, exploration of meaning and past influences, and practical steps to solve current problems. The goal is both insight and usable tools for daily life. Sessions aim to help people find strengths they may have forgotten.
Work can include coaching for career or parenting problems, managing symptoms like anxiety, and repairing communication problems. The focus is on realistic changes that fit a person's life and values.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them feel heard and supported while they identify their own solutions. It is useful for people feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps.Existential therapy helps people consider life meaning, choices, and responsibility. It can be helpful when someone faces big questions about purpose, midlife changes, emptiness, or major transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation and useful for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs to fit a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to sustain therapy over time and match the format to what helps most.
