About Jasmine
Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults navigate stress, relationships, and identity concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, workplace strain, and questions about intimacy or sexuality. Her style aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and figure out what they want next.
Jasmine uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. She draws on client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
Emotion-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and attachment come into play. Her background includes a Master of Social Work completed in 2017 and professional practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LCSW, LISW-CP).
She has six years of clinical experience and has lived in military family settings, which exposed her to diverse cultures and movement across the United States. In sessions she prioritizes strengths, boundaries, and practical next steps. This can mean practicing communication skills, setting limits, or trying small experiments to change daily routines.
Humor and plain talk are often part of the work. Clients often seek help for relationship challenges, blended family concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous dynamics, gender dysphoria questions, kink and BDSM related issues, and multicultural or workplace stress. Jasmine offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based therapy formats for people located in North Carolina.
She speaks English and frames therapy as a collaborative process where people are treated as experts on their own lives while getting guidance toward their goals.
Approach-focused online therapy for relationships and identity
Jasmine uses client-centered work to prioritize the person in the room. That means listening closely, asking questions, and shaping goals based on what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone needs support naming values, setting boundaries, or making life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test beliefs, reduce anxiety, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when attachment and relationship patterns are central; it helps couples or partners notice and shift interaction cycles to feel closer and safer.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jasmine treats it as a team effort - she listens to concerns, reviews goals, and suggests methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make scheduling easier and let clients use the format that fits their day. Remote sessions can support consistent progress while maintaining flexibility for busy lives in North Carolina.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
