About Gordon

Background and approach
Much of his work has been in independent practice and in- and out-patient treatment settings. He has also done assignments with federal safety agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard.
For many years he provided Substance Abuse Professional Department of Transportation back-to-work evaluations and is re-entering that evaluation work beginning in mid-2024. He has used hypnosis in individual practice for about 20 years and incorporates it when appropriate for goals like reducing anxiety or managing cravings. In sessions Gordon blends client-centered listening with cognitive tools and emotion-focused techniques.
He helps people tackle stress, anxiety, addictions, career issues, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and sleep or eating problems. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. Gordon describes therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their life.
He aims to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and guide practical next steps. The first meeting focuses on understanding priorities and deciding a comfortable path forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy focuses on questions about purpose, choice, and how people make meaning in life. In online sessions this can mean talking through values, facing difficult decisions, and identifying what feels most important now. Client-Centered Therapy centers on attentive listening and reflecting what the client brings. That approach helps people feel understood and makes it easier to try new strategies for problems like anxiety or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses concrete steps to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and habit patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions begin by clarifying what matters most and then trying techniques to see what helps, adjusting the plan over time based on feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to touch base between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options help people access consistent support without long commutes and let therapists use the approaches above in ways that suit each person's life.
