Gordon Leith , LPC

Gordon Leith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been practicing since 1991 and holds Texas license TX LPC #10783. He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with dual specializations in community mental health and substance abuse treatment from St. Marys University in San Antonio, Texas. His training and long career have included work across private practice, in- and out-patient treatment settings, and assignments with federal safety agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Coast Guard.

From 2005 to 2018 he provided Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Department of Transportation back-to-work evaluations, and he plans to re-enter the SAP evaluation field beginning in mid-2024. Over many years he has focused on helping adults address addictions, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career challenges, and transitions associated with life changes. While he currently sees only adults in one-to-one settings, his background includes clinical work with people ages four through 104 in individual, couples, family, and group formats.

For the past two decades he has integrated hypnosis into his individual practice. Gordon practices online at present, building on a long history of in-office care and treatment facility experience. He approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be mobilized to overcome challenges. He supports clients through the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can actually make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the mode that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it much easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical way to engage with the support they need while working with trained therapists.
