About Kari

Kari Jordan is a Michigan-based licensed social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical practice and a broader seven-year background in social services to her work, combining practical experience with an emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Kari’s approach centers on collaboration and tailoring care to each person’s goals, drawing on evidence-informed methods to teach skills that can be used long after sessions end.

She has supported people through grief, body image and eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the impacts of domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as issues related to adoption and foster care, co-morbidity, and substance use.

Kari values transparency and dedication in the therapeutic process and aims to guide clients through unfamiliar situations while helping them develop coping strategies. Her practice integrates client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral strategies and other practical techniques to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Available to English-speaking clients in Michigan, Kari emphasizes a strengths-based, supportive stance and encourages prospective clients who are ready to make changes to take the next step toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Kari commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kari works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and together they decide which strategies to try and how to adapt them for online formats. This process allows adjustments over time so the treatment plan fits practical realities and evolving priorities.

Online therapy with Kari is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy, support incremental skill practice between sessions, and allow clients to choose the format that best fits their daily routines.
