Jordan Gardner
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Orem, UT 84097
Hello, I’m Jordan. A guiding principle of my therapy practice is the belief that each person I work with has the capacity to overcome the challenges they are facing. Sometimes those challenges arise from current life transitions; other times they may be rooted in past experiences or concerns about what lies ahead. Whatever you may be navigating, I believe you have the strength and resilience needed to move forward. Sometimes, you just need help uncovering it.

Psychologist, PhD

My approach in therapy is broadly psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic, although I use evidence-based interventions as warranted.
We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.

Orem, UT 84057
I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed in their bodies — especially those navigating chronic illness, burnout, or trauma. Many of my clients feel exhausted in ways that rest alone doesn’t fix, or like their body isn’t responding the way it used to. If you’ve been trying to push through, keep up, or make sense of what’s happening internally, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand your patterns, and begin responding to your body with more clarity and care.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
