About Johnnie
Johnnie Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports people facing addictions, career changes, parenting strains, and questions about identity and self-worth.
He uses straightforward, person-focused conversations. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the person and then setting small, practical goals. Johnnie blends several approaches so sessions feel both active and respectful of each person’s pace.
How Johnnie works
Johnnie draws on four years of clinical experience and ongoing doctoral study in psychology. That combination informs his choices about what techniques to try and how to tailor them to a person’s life. He describes his work as guided by empathy, cultural awareness, and a nonjudgmental stance.
In sessions he might practice skills for managing anxious thoughts, experiment with new ways of communicating, or work through difficult feelings from past hurts. He pays attention to patterns tied to attachment and to ways people avoid painful thoughts or feelings. People meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approaches for online growth and connection
Johnnie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships that show up now and helps people create new ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. He listens to what you want to change, discusses possible methods, and adjusts the plan based on your goals and comfort. Together you decide which techniques to try and how to pace the work so it fits your life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text can be a shorter check-in or a way to process between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical progress and regular contact with a licensed professional.
