About Michael
Dr. Michael Gordon is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Dr. Gordon uses clear, action-focused sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, with attention to specific thoughts, habits, and coping skills.
He has worked with people who also face panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. That range gives him familiarity with both mood and behavioral patterns that can maintain distress.
Typical sessions include looking at unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and learning short skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness strategies are used to slow down difficult moments, and motivational interviewing helps when change feels uncertain.
Dr. Gordon describes himself as energetic and interactive in sessions. He aims to be nonjudgmental and direct, helping people notice patterns and try different responses. His approach is practical and goal-oriented, focusing on what can be changed now.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and routines. Online CBT sessions typically focus on identifying specific thinking patterns, setting small behavioral experiments, and reviewing how those experiments went between sessions. DBT provides concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be practiced in brief, focused exercises during remote sessions. Finding the right fit is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and recommend approaches that match your needs. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide what techniques to try and adjust as progress is tracked. The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use resources or worksheets during the session. These practical benefits often help people keep consistent practice and apply skills between appointments.Areas of expertise
