About Gordon

Background and approach
Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. Much of his career has been in independent practice, inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, and assignments with federal safety agencies. From 2005 to 2018 he provided Department of Transportation Back-to-Work evaluations as a Substance Abuse Professional and plans to resume SAP evaluations in mid-2024.
In sessions he uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused techniques, existential discussion, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. He aims to help people build confidence, improve coping skills, and make clearer choices about work and relationships. He emphasizes practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Gordon has worked with a wide age range in the past, though he currently sees adults one-to-one. He has experience with addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep and eating difficulties, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. He treats each person as the expert on their story and supports them in finding strengths and options.
The online format is his current practice setting. He encourages a calm, steady approach and partners with people who want to move toward a more satisfying life.

Online support
How practical approaches work online with hypnotherapy and CBT
Gordon uses hypnotherapy alongside client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to address common problems such as anxiety, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions. Hypnotherapy is used as a focused, guided process to help people access motivation and change habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes that ease symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time to match changing needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and hypnotherapy exercises, phone calls reduce bandwidth needs, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps keep progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and long-term plans.
