About Gordon
Gordon Leith uses a client-centered approach to guide adults through hard life moments. He is an LPC with 34 years of experience and speaks English. He practices online from Texas and focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use right away.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and ADHD. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and career stress.
How Gordon works
Gordon has worked with people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. His background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings and with federal safety agencies. Gordon blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to help people name what they are feeling and change unhelpful patterns.
He has used hypnotherapy in independent practice for about 20 years and brings that option when it fits a person's goals. Sessions are paced to match each person's needs and comfort level. He views the person in the room as the expert on their life and helps build on existing strengths.
Conversations focus on practical tools, clearer thinking, and ways to improve day-to-day functioning. The tone is straightforward and supportive rather than clinical. To begin, a person completes an online matching questionnaire and schedules a session.
Gordon offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches online and what they offer
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood so they can try new ways of handling problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to help people identify and express important emotions that affect relationships and self-worth. It can be useful for improving communication and dealing with intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process is flexible and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for frequent, brief support between appointments. These options make it possible to continue steady work on stress, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns without needing to travel.
