About Judy

Judy Jordan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with two decades of practice supporting adults through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and works with people who want practical steps to feel steadier and more hopeful in their daily lives. Her approach is down-to-earth and geared toward steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Judy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to match what each person needs. She uses simple, actionable tools and handouts that clients can apply between sessions. Sessions often focus on small, achievable goals so change feels manageable.

Her background includes 20 years of clinical experience working with diverse adults in California. Judy draws on that experience when helping people sort through addiction, ADHD, trauma, or mood concerns. She aims to make therapy a step-by-step process rather than an overwhelming project.

In sessions she introduces skills for calming anxiety, spotting unhelpful thinking, and building routines that support recovery from drug or alcohol problems. She also helps people address communication problems, guilt, and shame that get in the way of day-to-day living.

Judy asks clients to try small homework tasks and to use recommended readings and worksheets. Her style is encouraging and persistent - focused on steady progress and learning tools that last. She accepts international clients and practices from California as an LMFT.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Judy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behavior with simple experiments and practice. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and many stress-related concerns.

She also brings Mindfulness Therapy into sessions, teaching brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus. Mindfulness pairs well with work on addiction and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Judy works with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools and homework as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shortening a check-in when time is tight or avoiding travel on a workday. It also lets people use worksheets and recommended readings between sessions to keep momentum going.
