About Lynn

Lynn Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationships, family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Lynn also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and career-related worries.

She uses a client-centered approach and adapts practical techniques to fit each person. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and steady steps toward managing everyday problems. Lynn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to build emotion regulation and coping strategies.

Lynn gained experience working with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues at multiple levels of care after earning her Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. That hands-on work included individual and group therapy focused on addiction and related psychiatric concerns. Over time she has broadened her focus to include mood disorders, relationship difficulties, and feelings of isolation.

In sessions she favors straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. She may introduce behavior-focused exercises, communication practice, or short mindfulness activities. The emphasis is on useful steps you can try between appointments to reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She offers phone and live chat options and understands different ways of connecting can suit different needs. Before scheduling, confirm current session formats and any other details through the booking steps on the site.

How sessions work

How Lynn’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist emphasizes your priorities and works at your pace to set goals and try practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors. It uses exercises and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication; these can be helpful for strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynn will work with you to identify which methods fit your goals and preferences. You can try one approach for a few sessions and adjust as you learn what helps. The focus stays on simple techniques that you can use in daily life and on measuring small steps forward.

Her biography notes phone calls and live chat as ways she connects. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or other obligations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find these options help them sustain regular contact with a licensed professional while working on stress, addiction, mood, and relationship concerns.
