About Gordon
Gordon Leith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 34 years of experience supporting adults through major life challenges. He centers the work on each person's strengths and helps them move toward clearer goals.

Gordon earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with dual specializations in community mental health and substance abuse treatment from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. He has worked across settings including private practice, in‑ and outpatient treatment, 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 re-enter that work beginning in mid-2024.
In one-to-one sessions he helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and career or motivation challenges. He draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused ideas to help clients notice patterns and try practical changes.
Gordon describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their life. He keeps language simple and aims for practical next steps you can use between sessions. His background includes work with a wide age range, though he currently sees adults in individual sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and working from your goals. The therapist follows your lead and helps you notice strengths you already have that can change how you handle problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It helps identify patterns that keep problems going and tests small, practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes how emotions shape close relationships and individual experience. It can help people understand emotions more clearly and respond differently in stressful interactions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend a path to try. You and the therapist can adjust methods as you see what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. It also allows continuity of care when schedules or locations change, letting you keep making progress without major disruption.
