About

As a licensed therapist, I believe that the best work is done in partnership with my clients, and together we can create and accomplish goals that improve mental health and well-being.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients manage bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, depression, and anxiety. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and move toward emotional balance and self-empowerment.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. My approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify patterns, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies.

I bring empathy, patience, and genuine understanding to every session. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience happiness and fulfillment. Together, we’ll work toward developing the tools and mindset needed to overcome challenges and create lasting positive change.

Common approaches to Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in Johnson City

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.

How does DBT work?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.

What is DBT best used for?

DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Johnson City, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.

I felt heard and learned some techniques that will help me.

I have met with MJ ( Marissa) Jordan at the Johnson City,TN location for 5-6 sessions. My main issue is gaining understanding and knowledge of how and why I act the way I do, and what changes I need to make. Her ability to help me understand and change without feeling bad about myself is amazing! She uses enlightening personal examples that make it easy for me to comprehend. I am learning so much about how making a few positive changes will allow me to become a better person. I highly suggest MJ if you're looking for help with personal issues!
