About Roosevelt
Roosevelt Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting, anger, self esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. He also works with people affected by HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, obsessions and compulsions, personality disorders, phobias, process addictions, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse.
He begins by listening and building trust. Sessions are straightforward conversations about what is happening at home and what feels most urgent. Roosevelt uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person in charge of their goals. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address symptoms and habits.
His approach mixes practical steps with reflection. That can mean identifying thinking patterns that worsen anxiety, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or using motivational interviewing to support change around substance or behavioral addictions. He aims to break big problems into smaller, manageable actions that fit everyday life.
Roosevelt notes the role of life experience in his work. He pays attention to relationships with others and with oneself. When appropriate he brings in existential ideas about meaning and choice to help people facing major life transitions or grief.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Roosevelt offers guidance, coping strategies, and space to talk through difficult feelings. He welcomes people who need help sorting family tensions or the strains of parenting, and he supports those dealing with trauma, loss, or addictive behaviors.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Roosevelt commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions begin with active listening and putting the client's goals first. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through relationship or parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety, depression, or addictive habits active. It involves practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and building small routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roosevelt will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. That may mean combining client-centered listening with CBT exercises or adding mindfulness practice where it helps with stress or urges. The choice is based on the person's situation and preferences rather than a single fixed method.
