Jamie Gordon , LICSW

Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who supports people through a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. As a LICSW Jamie holds a social work credential that authorizes independent clinical practice, and as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor she brings focused experience working with addiction and recovery. Jamie’s work is grounded in compassion and a client-centered stance, with an emphasis on approaches that are supported by research.

She fosters a non-judgmental environment where individuals can examine their experiences, strengthen resilience, and learn practical strategies to manage symptoms and navigate life changes. Jamie prioritizes meeting people where they are, tailoring sessions to each person’s current needs and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and gradual steps toward sustained change.

Jamie values accompanying clients through transitions and difficult moments, helping them pursue greater balance and recovery over time. The focus is on practical tools, emotional support, and steady progress toward meaningful, client-defined outcomes.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Jamie uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience, listening closely and shaping sessions around individual goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs empathic support, clearer self-understanding, and partnership in deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and many daily challenges. Motivational Interviewing is applied when readiness for change is a focus, offering a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for recovery from substance use or other behavior changes.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic work. Jamie will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Therapy is treated as a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how care happens - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, skills-focused care that adapts to each client’s routine and circumstances.
