Hi, I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, New York, and Florida, dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with honesty, warmth, and a little bit of humor when needed. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can unpack what’s holding you back and work toward real, lasting change.
You can expect a warm, relaxed, and welcoming space to share your concerns and goals. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your background, and any specific challenges you’re facing that you would like to address. I will also answer any questions you have. The first session is about building comfort and clarity so that you feel supported and confident in our journey together.
I blend evidence-based techniques with a down-to-earth and compassionate approach. I will always meet you where you are in your journey. My background in working with diverse populations has strengthened my ability to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. I have a genuine passion for cultivating an environment to facilitate healing. I ensure clients leave each session with tools they can apply in daily life.
I am best suited to work with children (10+), adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation etc. I support clients in developing practical coping skills, improving communication, and building self-awareness. I work well with individuals who are open to self-exploration and motivated to create meaningful, lasting changes in their daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being.

I use this method to help individuals identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. In our sessions, we work on recognizing unhelpful thoughts, challenging them with evidence, and replacing them with more balanced perspectives.
I use this method to help individuals explore their own reasons for change in a supportive, non-judgmental space. Through open-ended questions and collaborative goal setting, I guide individuals in identifying their strengths and motivations.
I incorporate this to help individuals develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations by using techniques such as deep breathing, grounding exercises, and guided meditation. This helps to manage anxiety, reduce stress, improve self-esteem while encouraging self-care and emotional regulation.

I truly enjoyed my session with Ms. Gordon. She was very attentive, warm, supportive and genuine. I felt super comfortable opening up to her. I didn't feel judged or rushed but I felt heard and understood. It takes time to find "your person" but I knew immediately that she's the perfect fit for me. I feel great about this journey of healing and even better knowing she's here with me on this journey. I'm looking forward to all of our future sessions!

I was very nervous for my first session. I was worried that I didn't choose the right person and didn't want to get judged on what I had to say. From the start, I felt very comfortable and was able to open up about everything. I am looking forward to my next session!

Very much a real person, not just trying to validate but also converse with you and help you feel.
