Justin Gordon , LCSW, CSW

Justin Gordon, LCSW, CSW, is a clinical social worker who brings a calm, inclusive approach to therapeutic work. He earned a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and has practiced since 2010, gaining experience with children, teenagers, adults, and families. Over the course of his career he has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, communication challenges, and other mood concerns. He practices from a blend of evidence-informed methods, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; Solution-Focused techniques that emphasize practical, goal-oriented steps; and Narrative therapy that invites exploration of the stories people use to make sense of their lives. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - the LCSW credential - and a CSW, he frames the client as the expert on their own experience and adopts a collaborative stance, helping clients set priorities and explore workable strategies. He aims to create a welcoming environment for diverse concerns and backgrounds and to support people in making meaningful, attainable changes in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Justin integrates several practical, evidence-informed approaches into online work, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. He also uses Solution-Focused techniques that concentrate on identifying concrete steps and strengths to move toward clients' goals, offering a forward-looking way to address specific problems. Narrative therapy is another component of his work, assisting clients in examining and sometimes reauthoring the stories they tell about themselves to open up new possibilities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with Justin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when to engage in therapy while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and professional support found in traditional settings.
