Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy options



Dr. Gordon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms. CBT is often applied for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is especially useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of self-destructive behavior. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused way of working that helps clients clarify their motivation for change and resolve ambivalence, commonly used in work with substance use and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Gordon works collaboratively with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods over time so therapy fits the person as well as the problem. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to match each individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging that make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and at different times. These formats can support continuity of care, allow for more consistent check-ins, and increase convenience while working toward therapeutic goals with a trained therapist.
