About Gordon
Gordon Shearer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Gordon also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, men's issues, panic attacks, and social anxiety.
Gordon keeps sessions direct and practical. He listens to what is most pressing and helps people set simple steps they can try between sessions. Conversations aim to reduce immediate distress and build routine ways to manage intense feelings. He adjusts the plan as needed rather than sticking to a fixed program.
In practice he matches the work to each person's everyday life. That means talking through specific triggers, practicing small behavior changes, and reviewing what did or did not help. Sessions cover both short-term coping strategies and longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring.
People often bring up problems at work, in relationships, or with habit patterns that feel out of control. Gordon helps sort those issues into actionable priorities and keeps the focus on practical change. He encourages straightforward goals and checks progress each session.
Gordon provides care in English and works from New York. To begin, he asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions are arranged
Gordon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He focuses on approaches that teach practical skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing and exposure-based strategies that reduce avoidance and build tolerance to uncomfortable sensations. He also works with methods that address patterns linked to depression and addictions by identifying triggering situations and practicing small, repeatable behavior changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gordon will review your concerns and try different methods with you until you find what fits. The process is collaborative - goals, homework, and pacing are set together and adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely supports consistent follow-up and practice between sessions while keeping the focus on practical behavior changes.
