About Jasmine
Jasmine Gates helps people facing big life changes, relationship questions, stress, and identity concerns. She offers a calm, straightforward way to talk through what feels hardest. Jasmine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and brings six years of practice to conversations about work, relationships, and emotional health.
She focuses on practical goals a person can use between sessions. Jasmine uses client-centered work to follow what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on emotionally focused practices to strengthen connection in close relationships. Jasmine pays attention to sexual identity, gender concerns, and non-traditional relationship styles, including polyamory and kink culture. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and workplace or career strain.
Her experience includes multicultural and military-influenced perspectives, which shape how she listens and responds. In sessions she blends a warm, strengths-based style with gentle challenge. Conversations aim to build clearer boundaries, better communication, and more confidence.
People can expect practical steps to try between visits and check-ins on progress. Jasmine trained in social work with a Master of Social Work completed in 2017 and a Bachelor of Psychology earned in 2010. She lives and practices in North Carolina and speaks English.
Outside of work she enjoys live music, open mics, and casual time with friends.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person. Online sessions give space for this by letting people set the pace, bring their goals, and work on real-life decisions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build helpful habits; delivered online, CBT often uses short exercises and written tools to practice skills between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by naming emotions and requesting new responses, which can be practiced in conversations or role-plays during video sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jasmine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in on what is helping and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy going from different places and routines.
