01About Michael
Dr. Michael Gordon helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and trauma. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to LGBT identity.
He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, listed as LPC, practicing in Mississippi. He brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions. He aims to be direct and interactive.
He keeps a non-judgmental approach and accepts people as they are while working toward practical change.
Background and approach
In early conversations he focuses on what matters most to the client. He asks clear questions about goals and current obstacles. Together they identify small, manageable steps to reduce symptoms or improve communication.
Dr. Gordon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address anxious thoughts, panic, and mood problems. He also draws on mindfulness practices to help with emotional regulation and on motivational interviewing when addiction or change-readiness is involved.
Sessions may include skill practice, role-play around communication, tracking patterns between thoughts and mood, and brief goal-focused plans. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans adjusted if needed. People who prefer straightforward feedback and practical tools often find this style helpful.
He works with each person to set a pace that feels doable and to build skills they can use outside of sessions.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Dr. Gordon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going, often using short exercises and homework between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication skills through concrete tools and skills practice.Choosing the right approach is a process done together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend one or a blend of approaches. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if a different approach would fit better.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice role-play work. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules.
