About Mamie

Mamie Lumpkin-Gordon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so clients can talk through hard feelings and find clearer ways forward. Her approach is practical and straightforward, written for parents and caregivers who need usable strategies for daily life.

She uses talk therapy to build trust and safety first. From there she adapts methods to each person’s needs, choosing tools that fit the situation.

Background and approach

That can mean learning new ways to cope with anxiety or working through painful events from the past that still affect daily life. Mamie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.

For trauma-related concerns she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to address symptoms and reduce their impact. She has worked professionally for eight years and holds a Florida LCSW license, FL LCSW SW22059. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English.

The tone in her work is supportive and direct, aimed at helping parents and adults regain balance and confidence. Mamie encourages small, steady steps and tailors plans to each person’s life. She helps clients develop coping skills they can use between sessions and focuses on progress that feels realistic for busy families.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to create a sense of safety and trust; it is useful when someone needs space to share and gain clarity about their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the effects of past traumatic events and teaching skills to reduce their hold on present life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mamie will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This collaborative process means plans are adjusted over time as progress and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access for busy parents and caretakers. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions work when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing family life and other responsibilities.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
