About Jasmine
Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing in North Carolina with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to sexual identity and LGBT topics. Jasmine also addresses workplace stress, self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. She focuses on helping people name and sit with difficult emotions and the patterns that keep repeating in relationships. Jasmine encourages clients to identify values, set boundaries, and practice clearer communication.
She has experience supporting people exploring kink, BDSM, and alternative sex cultures, and those navigating non-monogamous relationships. Jasmine also helps with blended family issues, communication breakdowns, gender dysphoria questions, and multicultural concerns. Her background in a military family shaped an ability to work with people from varied backgrounds.
Sessions are described as direct and conversational, with practical steps for communication and goal progress. Jasmine leans on strengths-based, person-centered work and sometimes highlights long-term patterns from a psychodynamic perspective. She uses straightforward talk, occasional humor, and action-oriented language to help clients feel clearer about their next steps.
To begin, prospective clients use the platform matching process to schedule a first session. Jasmine’s work is aimed at helping people find clearer ways to express needs, improve connection, and move toward goals in relationships, career, and personal life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name the emotions that drive relationship patterns. It focuses on feelings and connection to reduce repeated cycles that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, creating sessions where the client's perspective guides what comes next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps that can change how someone copes day to day, often useful for anxiety and mood concerns.Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Jasmine will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then together they try approaches that fit those needs. Over time they check what helps and adjust the mix of EFT, client-centered listening, or CBT skills based on progress and comfort.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since the therapist's original biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about which session types are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can work around work or family schedules.
