About Johnnie

Johnnie Gordon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who offers short- and longer-term support for a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on four years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions. He also works with struggles such as addictions, eating concerns, career questions, caregiver stress, and identity-related topics including LGBT matters and body image.

His practice emphasizes respect, cultural sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental stance. Johnnie aims to tailor sessions to each person's circumstances, helping clients build insight and practical coping skills while attending to attachment patterns, communication difficulties, and emotional regulation.

He integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and attachment-oriented approaches to create individualized plans. Clients who choose him can expect focused collaboration to identify goals and develop tools that fit everyday life.

He frames therapy as a process of growth and problem-solving, inviting clients to explore values, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Johnnie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and it often includes practical strategies and skill-building. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences, which can help with stress, grief, and persistent worry by increasing psychological flexibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful, adjusting strategies as progress and circumstances evolve to support meaningful change.

Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy or geographically distant clients. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to continue momentum between meetings, while allowing therapists to use CBT and ACT techniques effectively in conversation, exercises, and homework planning.
