About Lynn

Lynn Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and feelings tied to guilt and shame. Lynn uses practical approaches to help clients manage stress and life changes.

She trained at Florida Atlantic University where she completed her master’s in social work and gained hands-on experience with substance use and co-occurring conditions. That clinical background informs how she works with addiction, codependency, and mood disorders in individual and group settings.

Lynn’s style is client-centered. She adapts techniques to fit what each person needs and prefers. Sessions include conversation and skills practice drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods, along with tools from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing.

People who contact her often bring worries about self-esteem, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, isolation, or midlife transitions. She also supports those coping with grief, career stress, and finding purpose after change. She addresses impulsivity, social anxiety, and communication problems as part of this work.

She offers phone and live chat as options in addition to live video, explaining how different formats can fit into a busy life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In her online sessions this means conversations that start with what matters most to the person and build practical steps from there.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try small experiments to test alternatives. Online CBT sessions often include brief exercises, homework assignments, and step-by-step skill building to manage anxiety, guilt, or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes clear skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When someone struggles with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflict, DBT skills can be practiced during sessions and applied between meetings.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then recommend methods to try. Adjustments are made as work proceeds so the plan fits the person’s needs.

The biography lists live video, phone calls, and live chat as ways she meets with people. Confirm the currently offered formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when that is helpful.
