About Lynn

Lynn Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, codependency, and life transitions. Lynn uses approaches that focus on practical skills and clear goals to help people manage stress and move forward.

She trained at Florida Atlantic University where she completed a Master of Social Work. Early work included individual and group therapy for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions across levels of care. That background shaped a direct, skills-focused style for addressing substance use, mood disorders, and co-morbidity.

Lynn typically combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness strategies for managing emotions and reducing reactivity.

Practical problem solving and short-term strategies are part of sessions. Motivational Interviewing may be used when people are making changes related to alcohol or drug use. Sessions can include talking through coping steps, practicing boundary statements, and setting small, doable goals.

Lynn offers sessions in English and works with international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How Lynn uses practical approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to use strategies that fit the client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for times of high stress or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lynn will discuss what methods make sense based on a person’s goals, strengths, and daily routine. She aims to make that decision together, adjusting techniques as progress is made and problems change.

The original biography notes phone calls and live chat as session modes; please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when visuals are not needed, and chat can work for people who prefer typing their thoughts. These formats let people practice skills between meetings and keep momentum while managing work or caregiving responsibilities.
