Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at reducing immediate distress and building skills for everyday life. Gordon uses methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape work in session. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new ways of responding.
He focuses on concrete tools you can try between appointments, not abstract theories. His style is calm and nonjudgmental. He encourages people to talk plainly about what is hard and what they want to change.
He helps set small, achievable goals and tracks progress in a way that feels manageable. If you want steady guidance through anxiety or stress, Gordon offers a practical approach that centers on day-to-day improvements. He aims to make each session useful and relevant to real life.
How CBT and DBT translate to online care
CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them against real life. Online CBT sessions often use structured exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In online DBT work, clients practice distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills during and between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, symptoms, and daily routines and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are made together, with adjustments as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is inconvenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, skill reminders, or brief coaching between appointments. These flexible options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family demands.
