About Gordon

Since 1991, Gordon Leith has been licensed as a professional counselor in Texas, holding the credential LPC (TX LPC 10783). He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with dual specializations in community mental health and substance abuse treatment from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. From 2005 to 2018 he conducted Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Department of Transportation back-to-work evaluations and he is re-entering the SAP evaluation field beginning in mid-2024.

Leith has long experience supporting adults with addictions, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Although he currently sees adults in one-to-one settings, his clinical background includes people aged 4 to 104 in individual, couples, family, and group formats. Much of his earlier work took place in private practice offices, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and on assignments with federal safety agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard, and he currently practices online.

He has incorporated hypnotherapy into his individual practice for the past 20 years. Leith approaches counseling from a strengths-based perspective, viewing each person as the expert of their own story and offering supportive guidance as they take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative environment in which the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support to help people explore values, choices, and personal strengths; it is often effective for clients facing life transitions, self-esteem issues, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or mood difficulties and offers practical strategies to shift those patterns and build coping skills. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habit change, motivation, and certain behavioral concerns - Leith has applied hypnotherapy in individual practice for many years.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration ensures that interventions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. Therapists can adapt these formats to support continuity of care and practical problem solving while respecting the pace each client prefers.
