About Jasmine

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Clinical Practice designation (LISW-CP) practicing in North Carolina. She has six years of experience and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, self-esteem struggles, and career or workplace concerns.

Jasmine focuses on helping people through life changes and supports those in the LGBTQ community. She also works with people who identify with BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures, and with those navigating polyamory or blended family dynamics. Her background in a military family exposed her to diverse communities, which she says informed her cultural awareness in sessions.

Her style centers on person-centered work and strength-based support, combined with psychodynamic ideas and practical tools. She aims to help people name what matters to them and develop clearer boundaries and communication with others. That includes learning to express needs and manage built-up frustration or anger without blaming oneself.

In session she uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful, alongside Motivational Interviewing for goal-focused shifts. Conversations typically move between understanding past patterns and trying small, workable changes in the present.

Outside of work she enjoys live music, open mics, brunch outings, and lighter downtime watching Food Network shows and comedies. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps toward the life a person wants.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Jasmine draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert on their life, which helps when someone wants practical feedback and clearer boundaries. CBT offers concrete techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anger, anxiety, and workplace stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to how feelings and attachment patterns show up in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and recurrent couple conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with a person to identify what feels most useful for their goals and adjust the mix of methods over time. That means trying interventions, checking what helps, and shifting focus if needed.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets or emotion-focused exercises in ways that fit their day-to-day life. Ask about specific session types and logistics when arranging the first appointment.
