Jamie Gordon, LICSW

Jamie Gordon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with a decade of experience supporting people facing a range of mental health and substance use challenges. As an LICSW, she holds advanced social work licensure that qualifies her to provide clinical assessment and psychotherapy. Jamie blends a compassionate, client-centered stance with evidence-based techniques to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma, and life transitions.

She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and learn practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change. Jamie emphasizes meeting people where they are and collaborating on goals that reflect each person’s values and circumstances. Her approach is rooted in listening carefully, validating strengths, and offering tailored strategies for coping and recovery.

Clients work with Jamie to develop tools for emotional regulation, improve communication, address patterns such as codependency or impulsivity, and rebuild balance after loss or upheaval. She regards it as an honor to walk alongside individuals as they pursue growth, stability, and renewed purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Jamie offers client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and adapting the pace and goals of therapy to each person. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to explore emotions and make personal choices.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - is another tool in her practice, teaching skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, or interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jamie collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can connect by video call, speak by phone, engage in live chat, or use text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
