Jasmine Gates, LCSW, LISW-CP

Jasmine Gates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in North Carolina. She has six years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strains. Jasmine lists blended family issues among her focus areas and often works with people navigating changes in household roles and boundaries.

She uses a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and exploring how past patterns affect present behavior. Jasmine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships.

Her background includes growing up in a military family and living in multiple regions of the United States. That experience informs her awareness of cultural differences and how life transitions can affect identity and relationships. She also notes experience supporting people in the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring sexuality and alternative relationship structures.

In sessions she combines motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to help clients notice patterns, set boundaries, and take concrete action toward their goals. Conversations can include role rehearsals, communication skills practice, and planning steps to reduce anxiety or improve intimacy.

Jasmine emphasizes practical problem solving for career stress, compassion fatigue, and family communication problems. People who want direct feedback and clear next steps often find this style useful. If a stepparent or partner in a blended household wants help sorting roles or co-parenting dynamics, she lists blended family issues as a concern she addresses.
