Jasmine Gates, LCSW, LISW-CP

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigating relationship concerns and life changes. She offers a warm, down-to-earth space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, intimacy issues, grief, and identity questions. Jasmine invites clients to be the expert on their own lives while she provides guidance and accountability toward real goals.

She uses person-centered approaches that focus on strength and collaboration. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioral ideas and moments that look at deeper patterns from a psychodynamic lens. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when connection or communication feels stuck in a relationship.

Jasmine values working with LGBTQ+ people and with those exploring non-traditional relationship structures. She also supports people facing trauma, career strain, compassion fatigue, and problems with self-esteem. Her background in a military family exposed her to many cultures and perspectives, which informs how she listens and responds.

Her training includes a Master of Social Work from Johnson C. Smith University and clinical licensure as an LCSW and an LISW-CP. Jasmine has six years of professional experience in behavioral health and counseling settings. She blends humor with direct work to help clients build confidence and clearer boundaries.

If someone wants help communicating needs, managing difficult emotions, or aligning life with personal values, Jasmine works collaboratively to set practical steps. She encourages clients to try small changes, reflect on results, and adjust plans as needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jasmine commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are, which helps people feel heard and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can ease anxiety, mood, and daily functioning.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship connection and communication are the main concerns. That approach helps people notice emotional patterns between partners and try new ways of responding to increase closeness and reduce conflict.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jasmine will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress becomes clear. Clients and therapist check in about what is helpful and what needs to change so the work stays practical and relevant.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Jasmine will discuss how to adapt techniques to match a person’s daily routine and schedule.
