About Gary
Dr. Gary Jordan focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. He helps people cope with life changes, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, career concerns, anger, self-esteem, and issues related to ADHD. He speaks plainly and listens with attention to what feels most urgent for each person.
With 46 years of experience, Dr. Jordan has worked in community mental health, private practice, inpatient settings, corporate environments, and nursing homes. He holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology - Berkeley and is licensed as a psychologist in Texas and California. These roles have given him broad exposure to common patterns that underlie emotional pain.
Dr. Jordan draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside existential and psychodynamic ideas to understand what matters to each person. He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps forward. In sessions he listens for recurring patterns, challenges negative self-talk, and helps people reframe long-held beliefs that cause suffering.
Work with him often combines talking through difficult memories and testing new behaviors between sessions. The focus is on finding strengths, increasing self-compassion, and building clearer ways to handle stress and relationships. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are practical and tied to everyday life.
People seeking help can expect straightforward conversation, attention to the stories that shape their experience, and a focus on skills that make daily living easier. Dr. Jordan aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having tools they can use every day.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions can keep that same gentle, listening-based tone while allowing the person to speak about stress, relationships, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility; it helps when life feels empty or people face midlife questions or major transitions, and those conversations work well in a remote format where depth and reflection are the priority.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change during therapy.

Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people use a session when they are between commitments or need an immediate practical check-in. Discussing format and timing early helps ensure sessions fit into everyday life while focusing on the concerns that matter most.
