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, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT issues. Her work also covers grief, career questions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She uses client-centered methods and adapts techniques to each person.

Gordon draws on a mix of practical approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Motivational Interviewing helps when people face ambivalence about change.

Her background includes a master’s degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Early work involved individual and group therapy for substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions across levels of care. That experience shaped her work with drug and alcohol addiction and co-morbidity.

In sessions she focuses on clear, usable tools. Conversations include skill practice, problem-solving, and setting realistic goals. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, guilt, impulsivity, and isolation.

Sessions may use different communication methods. The biography mentions phone calls and live chat as options some people prefer. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How Lynn uses CBT, DBT skills, and client-centered work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It prioritizes the client's goals and preferences and guides what topics are addressed in sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thought that increase stress or depression and replaces them with more helpful thinking and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with coping in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior. These skills can help with emotional dysregulation, codependency, and substance use struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques as progress is made.

The original biography mentions phone calls and live chat as ways some people connect. Because formats can change, confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. They also let people choose communication styles that feel most comfortable while working on practical skills and problem solving.
