About Judy
Judy Jordan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Judy focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. She uses short exercises, handouts, and readings to reinforce work done in sessions. The aim is to notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then test different ways of responding in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map situations, thoughts, and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to slow down automatic reactions and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Psychodynamic ideas help look at patterns that repeat over time and where they may have started.
In sessions she breaks concerns into small, manageable steps. Clients learn concrete tools for panic, cravings, low mood, or communication problems. She also addresses guilt, shame, and the fallout from trauma with structured techniques and reflective discussion.
Judy describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set realistic goals and tries methods that fit day-to-day life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online system.
How CBT, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Work Online
Judy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between situations, thoughts, and actions and then try new responses. CBT is practical and focused on skills for panic, anxiety, cravings, low mood, and behavior patterns.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach skills for staying present and reducing reactivity. These practices are useful for anxiety, stress, and managing urges. Psychodynamic Therapy is used to look at repeating relationship patterns and early influences that shape current responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Judy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adapts her plan as clients test tools and report what helps.
