About Lynn
Lynn Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with seven years of experience.

Lynn also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Lynn uses straightforward methods to address day-to-day problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different responses. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and shapes sessions around what matters to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She has experience helping people with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns across levels of care. That background informs how she structures individual and group work and how she plans stepwise goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are unsure about change or need help finding reasons to try different behaviors.
In sessions Lynn focuses on practical skills, short-term goals, and clear strategies people can use between meetings. She offers phone and live chat as options for connecting, in addition to video for those who prefer it. Her work emphasizes problem solving, improving communication, and managing mood and cravings.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Lynn frames therapy as a series of small, practical steps toward better coping and clearer decisions.
How Lynn adapts CBT and related methods for online work
Lynn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying a situation, spotting automatic thoughts, testing a different response, and practicing the new behavior between meetings. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse control issues.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on what the person wants to address. That means listening closely and shaping the pace and agenda to the client’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises are added when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance strategies are needed.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Lynn will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a client-centered approach fits best given goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts tools over time rather than fixing on one method up front.
The biography lists phone calls, live chat, and video as ways she connects, so confirm which options are available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose not to be on camera. These practical options help therapy fit everyday life without assuming a single format.
