He has used hypnotherapy in individual practice for about 20 years. Gordon draws on 34 years of counseling experience to help people build motivation, confidence, and coping skills. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, practicing new ways of responding, and setting realistic steps forward.
He emphasizes the client’s own strengths and life story in shaping goals. Although he now sees adults one-to-one online, his earlier work included a wide range of settings and ages. From 2005 to 2018 he provided Substance Abuse Professional evaluations and plans to resume that work in mid-2024.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Practical Approaches Work Online
Gordon uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients notice and understand their emotional responses in relationships and daily life. EFT emphasizes how emotions shape behavior and helps people change patterns that cause pain or disconnection. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on the person’s experiences and priorities, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of his toolkit and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, and building concrete coping skills. Gordon will discuss which approaches fit best and adapt them to each person’s goals in a collaborative way.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer it. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging works well for short check-ins, brief coaching, or step-by-step homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, family, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
