Jasmine Gates

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigating career strain, relationships, and identity questions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and challenges tied to sexuality and intimacy. Jasmine centers each conversation on the person in front of her and works to create space for honest talk and practical steps.

Her style is warm and direct. She uses client-centered methods and draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that matter. Jasmine also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to build skills and motivation for change. Together with clients she aims to clarify values, set boundaries, and strengthen confidence in daily life.

Jasmine has six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LISW-CP credentials in North Carolina. She completed a Master of Social Work at Johnson C. Smith University after earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Her background in a military family exposed her to diverse communities across the United States and shaped her cultural awareness.

She often supports people from the LGBTQ community, women negotiating in and out of relationships, and people in non-monogamous or kink-aware relationships who want better communication and connection. Jasmine uses a strengths-based approach and gentle humor to help clients notice progress and stay accountable to goals.

If someone is ready to work toward clearer boundaries, more authentic self-expression, or smoother workplace and relationship dynamics, Jasmine invites them to start a conversation and explore next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s experience first and focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk through identity, career decisions, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills and small, testable changes in thinking and behavior. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, workplace stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional bonds and communication patterns in relationships. It can help people wanting clearer emotional connection and better ways to express needs with partners or others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jasmine will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients help shape which techniques get used and when.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, attending from wherever is most convenient, or avoiding travel time. It also allows continuity of care during life transitions and lets people work on career or relationship goals without rearranging their whole day.
