Judy Jordan

Judy Jordan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach aims to help people take small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

Judy blends mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice habits of thought and test new ways of responding. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and mood. Sessions often include practical tools, worksheets, and short readings that clients can use between meetings.

Her style focuses on concrete progress rather than abstract theory. Judy uses simple exercises to reduce panic and manage cravings, and she helps people untangle guilt, shame, and communication problems. She encourages pacing the work so changes build over time instead of forcing big leaps.

Over two decades in California, Judy has worked with many adult clients facing drug and alcohol addiction, ADHD, eating concerns, and panic disorder. Her practice centers on helping people find meaning and steady routines when life feels chaotic. She invites clients to try small experiments and to keep what works.

Clients who prefer active, skills-based sessions will find clear handouts and book suggestions included in the work. Judy frames therapy as a collaborative journey and focuses on tools that people can use in daily life to move toward the life they want.

How Judy Uses Mindfulness and CBT Online

Judy combines Mindfulness Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Mindfulness work focuses on simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to challenge negative thinking and to change behaviors that keep problems going.

She also brings psychodynamic ideas into the discussion to look at patterns that repeat over time, especially in how people relate to others and handle strong feelings. This helps make sense of why certain reactions keep coming up and guides what to practice in between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches happens together; the therapist and client decide what fits best based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use their regular breaks for care. The therapist will help plan practical tools and homework that suit your daily routine.
