Jordan Achartz, LPCC

Jordan Achartz is a Minnesota LPCC who focuses on practical, skills-based care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people make small, steady changes. Her approach is direct but warm, aimed at helping people feel understood and gain tools to cope.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety with clear strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Jordan also addresses grief, depression, and addictions by breaking problems into manageable steps and building routines that support recovery. She emphasizes real-life changes rather than abstract talk.

Relationship concerns and family or parenting stress are common topics she addresses, with attention to communication patterns and coping during transitions like separation or divorce. She also works on issues such as codependency, control struggles, guilt and shame, and jealousy. Young adult and women's issues are listed among her focus areas.

Jordan blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Sessions aim to be collaborative: she listens, reflects, and then helps plan concrete next steps.

With six years of professional experience, Jordan frames therapy as a step-by-step process. She keeps language plain and actions practical so a worried parent or an overwhelmed person can follow along. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better daily routines, and more manageable emotions.

Evidence-informed approaches adapted for online care

Jordan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT breaks problems into steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels understood and can find their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools are needed to manage intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jordan will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they track what helps, adjust strategies, and set clear, achievable goals so progress is easier to see.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people work on concerns from different places and schedules. Video calls are useful for richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work for brief check-ins or homework support. These options offer flexibility for busy lives while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
