About Gordon
Gordon Leith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. He works with adults in one-to-one sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, addictions, career concerns, and life changes. Gordon emphasizes clients' strengths and supports people as they make changes they want to see in their lives.
He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with dual specializations in community mental health and substance abuse treatment. Over his career he has worked in private practice, inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, and on assignments with federal safety agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard. He also provided Substance Abuse Professional evaluations for Department of Transportation back-to-work processes from 2005 to 2018 and plans to re-enter that work in mid-2024.
Gordon has used hypnotherapy in his individual practice for about 20 years. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential ideas to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on building confidence, improving coping skills, and addressing relationship and intimacy-related concerns.
He currently practices online from Texas and conducts work with adults only in one-to-one settings. He asks people to be ready to talk through real-life problems, try tools between sessions, and set realistic goals for change. Gordon aims to make the process collaborative and focused on the next actionable step.
People looking for help with grief, trauma, ADHD, mood concerns, or caregiver stress can expect an approach that combines practical techniques with conversational exploration. He frames therapy as a process where the client’s goals guide the work.
Approaches used in online therapy
Gordon draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, increasing confidence, and working through life decisions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gordon treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past to shape a plan that fits each person.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people work with a therapist from their own region. Because specific session formats are not listed in the profile, confirm current session options before booking to learn whether video, phone, or other formats are available. The focus is on practical steps and tools that can be used between sessions so therapy fits everyday routines.
