About Michael
Michael Jordan is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can use when life feels overwhelming. Michael encourages clients to build on their own strengths and to take small, realistic steps toward change.
He frames the work as a collaborative effort where the client knows their story best.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals and specific tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Michael pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and teaches simple strategies to interrupt them. For parents, he offers help with parenting stress, intimacy concerns, and managing major life transitions.
He also addresses trauma, depression, bipolar mood shifts, ADHD-related challenges, and process or sex addictions. When infidelity, phobias, or young adult issues come up, he breaks problems down into manageable pieces so people can choose workable next steps. Michael uses straightforward language and practical exercises rather than jargon.
Expect concrete coping skills, short-term plans, and check-ins on progress. His approach aims to create moments of relief while building long-term change. He practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW and offers several remote session types to fit different routines.
Getting started simply means answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for you.

Evidence-based approaches for remote care
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful patterns and teaching small behavioral changes that reduce stress and anxiety; this helps with daily coping and mood regulation. Another approach focuses on managing addictive behaviors by breaking cycles into triggers, urges, and responses, then practicing replacement strategies to reduce harm and regain control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text exchanges are useful for brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or parenting duties.
