Dr. Michael Gordon, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Michael

Dr. Michael Gordon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship trouble, depression, and related issues. He brings 16 years of experience to sessions and works in a direct, energetic style that aims to help parents and caregivers find practical steps forward.

He approaches people without judgment and focuses on what can change now. In conversation he keeps things interactive and goal-oriented.

Background and approach

He uses straightforward methods to address problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, grief, trauma, and intimacy concerns. Communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation or shame are also common topics he helps people address. Therapeutic tools Dr.

Gordon uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, along with solution-focused techniques and mindfulness practices. These methods guide short-term skills work and longer-term habit change depending on each person’s needs. Sessions typically combine practical skill-building with exploration of what is getting in the way.

He has worked with substance use, bipolar and personality concerns, and psychosis earlier in his career, which informs a broad approach to complex situations. His background supports working with clients managing grief, trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Dr.

Gordon communicates in English and offers remote session formats. He aims to help people make changes through clear conversation, targeted strategies, and steady support.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Gordon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as central parts of his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new actions to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for anger, relationship strain, and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That shared planning helps focus sessions on skills and steps that matter most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. These options make it easier to follow up between sessions, practice skills in daily life, and schedule therapy around family responsibilities. The remote formats support consistent work on goals while fitting into a family’s routine.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
