LCSW, 13 years of experience
Hi! My name is Jordan Nivens, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. It can be tough when facing challenges and struggles. Taking the opportunity to seek out help is not a sign of weakness; but a demonstration of strength. I provide a nonjudgmental, understanding, and compassionate atmosphere to assist you in learning tools to cope with life’s problems, while empowering you with the skills and strength to bring about the changes you desire in life. I work with clients with various challenges including anxiety, life transition, women's issues and family/relationship concerns.
In our first session, you will have the opportunity for introductions and to discuss current challenges in a non judgmental space. I want you to leave the initial session feeling understood, supported, and validated. We will discuss your goals and what you desire from counseling. If it sounds like we might be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
My communication style is compassionate and caring, while incorporating gentle challenging, skill building and guidance. I will challenge you in a caring and empathetic manner to look within and seek alternative options and strategies for handling life’s challenges. At times I may assign activities that may assist in reinforcement and skill building.
I take a person-centered approach, working with my clients to assist them with understanding their underlying concerns while identifying and utilizing their strengths and building up skills to help accomplish their goals. I work with clients with carious challenges including anxiety, life transition and relationship concerns.
My therapeutic approaches include a client-centered and strengths based approach, incorporating some DBT and CBT interventions.
I use solution focused brief treatment to assist in facilitating positive and healthy change.
I utilize DBT and CBT to help you explore your past experiences and how they have shaped your identity while helping you build coping skills.
