About Roosevelt

Roosevelt Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, and career stresses.

His style is direct and person-focused. He listens actively and works to build trust early in the work. He treats anger as one of several emotional responses to life stressors and offers practical ways to notice and respond to it differently.

Roosevelt uses several approaches depending on what fits the person and the problem. He draws on Client-Centered ideas to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience. He uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed stress and anger.

He also brings Existential and Mindfulness ideas to help people consider values, meaning, and present-moment noticing. Motivational Interviewing is part of his toolkit when clients are weighing change or struggling with substance or process addictions.

Roosevelt’s background includes long-term clinical work with people facing a range of challenges. He has experience supporting people affected by HIV and AIDS, hospice and end-of-life issues, obsessive and compulsive problems, personality disorders, phobias, and sexual assault and abuse. He practices in California and works in English, and he accepts international clients.

How his approaches translate to online work

Roosevelt commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person says, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behavior patterns, and teaches concrete skills to reduce reactivity and manage anger.

He also draws on Mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily cues and the early signs of escalated emotion. Mindfulness exercises are presented as short practices that can be used outside of sessions to steady attention and interrupt automatic reactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss which methods match a person’s needs and goals, and adjust the plan as work proceeds. That collaborative process helps people find what feels useful rather than imposing a single technique.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel.
