About Michael
Michael Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and the fallout from addictions. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel doable for someone who is worried about taking that first step.
He believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions center on what feels most pressing to the client and on using strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Michael offers straightforward guidance to sort through relationship tension, anger, and intimate concerns. Phobias and issues around infidelity and process addictions are also areas he addresses. Over 16 years he has worked with adults facing depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and big life transitions.
He commonly helps people build coping skills, develop clearer routines, and reduce crisis-driven behavior. His tone is practical rather than clinical, aiming to break problems into manageable parts. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Those formats let clients pick what fits their schedule and communication needs. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. People start by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.
From there they schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability and the format that suits them.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach he uses teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, helping people spot triggers and practice short exercises to reduce panic or overwhelm. This helps with phobias and everyday worry by breaking reactions into manageable steps.Another frequent emphasis is relapse prevention and behavioral planning for addictions. This involves identifying high-risk situations, building routines to reduce cravings, and rehearsing alternative responses. That approach is practical for process addictions, sex addiction, and substance-related issues.
Finding the right method is a shared process. He will work with each client to choose techniques that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting plans as progress is made. The collaborative tone is meant to help clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and behavioral demonstration. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options give flexibility so work, school, and family demands can be balanced with ongoing care.
