About Roosevelt

Roosevelt Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of clinical practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma, grief, and a wide range of other concerns.

Background and approach

He approaches care with a focus on building trust through attentive, empathetic listening and aims to honor each person’s full life context, including spiritual dimensions when clients bring those into the work. His style blends evidence-informed methods with reflective, person-centered engagement.

Roosevelt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and existential perspectives, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to what an individual needs. He brings experience addressing issues such as intimacy and sexual trauma, eating and process addictions, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, bipolar disorder, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and self-harm and safety planning.

Based in California, Roosevelt offers a compassionate, collaborative approach that emphasizes practical skills and personal meaning. He draws on life experience and clinical training to help clients clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and make changes that fit their values and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Roosevelt frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, cravings, and other symptoms. He also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore personal values and meaning in a supportive relationship.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Roosevelt works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and he adapts methods over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected regardless of location or routine constraints.
