About Amanda

Amanda Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 27 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines a practical focus on building self-regulation skills with evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family dynamics such as attachment or blended family issues.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and tailoring sessions to each person’s needs, drawing from client-centered therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective, and from cognitive and behavioral methods to develop concrete coping tools. Amanda also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and relationship-focused work when communication and commitment issues arise.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice across varied settings, and she brings experience addressing additional areas such as adoption and foster care, domestic violence, and intimacy-related concerns including kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Amanda practices in Indiana and works with clients to create personalized plans that balance practical skill-building with emotional exploration, supporting steps toward healing, improved functioning, and better interpersonal connection.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Amanda commonly integrates Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients notice and relate to the different parts of their inner experience, reducing internal conflict and improving emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda partners with each client to explore which methods feel most useful given their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and she adapts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Amanda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to fit sessions into busy lives, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support skill-building, emotional processing, and relationship work in a way that fits daily routines.
