About Jasmine

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and changes in relationships. She works with people exploring sexual identity, alternative relationship structures, and intimacy concerns. Jasmine offers a direct, supportive presence that invites clients to tell their stories and set clear goals.

Her approach emphasizes listening first. She uses person-centered conversations to understand each person’s values and priorities. Jasmine blends that with psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that show up today. She also uses strength-focused work to build confidence and clearer boundaries.

Clients can expect practical skills as well as space for deeper reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when improving connection and communication matters most. Motivational Interviewing techniques support commitment to change and next steps.

Jasmine draws on personal experience from a military family to relate to people from different backgrounds. She mentions a particular interest in supporting the LGBTQ+ community, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and those involved in kink or alternative sex cultures. This background informs a culturally aware and nonjudgmental style.

Outside of work she enjoys live events, brunches, and watching Food Network and television shows. Her approach is warm and grounded, aimed at helping people live in line with their values and speak up for what they want.

How Jasmine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jasmine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the topics and pace. This approach helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach happens together. Jasmine will listen to concerns and goals, then recommend techniques to try. She treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts plans based on what helps the person make progress and feel more capable.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use different tools between sessions, like worksheets or brief exercises, to keep momentum between meetings.
