About Jordan
Jordan Nivens is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people navigate hard times. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through problems and learn practical skills. Jordan focuses on building strength and everyday tools people can use after sessions end.
Her approach centers on straightforward, useful strategies rather than jargon. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most and choose actions that match their values.
How Jordan works
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new habits that change how someone feels and behaves. Jordan also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person's goals. She listens closely and adjusts the pace so work feels manageable.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs support finding their own reasons to change. In sessions she works on concrete concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and career transitions. She helps people handle relationship tensions, communication problems, forgiveness, and issues that come after childbirth.
Jordan also supports those feeling compassion fatigue or dealing with veteran and armed forces issues. Sessions aim to build skills for daily life - better communication, clearer priorities, and practical coping tools. The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Jordan helps people set realistic steps and notice small wins along the way.

How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. Online sessions use guided exercises and goal setting to turn values into everyday actions, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. In remote sessions, a therapist and client can work through thought records, behavioral experiments, and practical homework to shift patterns that contribute to depression or worry.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person's goals and experience at the center of the work. The therapist listens, reflects, and adapts the pace so each session feels manageable and relevant to what the client wants to accomplish.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options offer flexibility to match timing, communication style, and daily routines.
