Jasmine Gates, LCSW, LISW-CP

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigating life changes, relationship challenges, and identity questions. She creates a down-to-earth space where clients can vent, feel heard, and work toward clearer boundaries and self-confidence. Jasmine often supports people exploring gender and sexuality, including clients from the LGBTQ community and people involved in kink or non-traditional relationship structures.

Her style blends person-centered listening with practical tools. Sessions focus on identifying values, improving communication, and setting achievable goals. She draws on motivational interviewing to clarify what matters most and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Jasmine has six years of clinical experience and holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LISW-CP credentials in North Carolina and South Carolina. Her background growing up in a military family exposed her to many cultures and lifestyles, which informs her culturally aware approach. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue.

In therapy she emphasizes collaboration. Clients are treated as the expert on their lives while Jasmine offers reflection, accountability, and strategies to move forward. Expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and practical exercises aimed at clearer communication and stronger boundaries.

Outside of work she enjoys local arts, live music, brunch, and watching cooking shows and dramas. That everyday curiosity about people often shows up in sessions as warmth and humor.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting clients as the experts on their own lives. It helps people clarify values, set goals, and build confidence by reflecting what they say and encouraging self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and attachment needs to improve communication and connection in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jasmine collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The first sessions typically involve listening to your story, identifying priorities, and trying small strategies to see what helps. Adjustments are made along the way so therapy stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by saving travel time, enabling quicker check-ins between commitments, or allowing a session without needing to be on camera. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely still lets them practice communication skills, try CBT exercises, and process emotions with support.
