About Gordon

Gordon Pfannenstiel is an LCPC practicing in Kansas who brings 15 years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He focuses on building a collaborative, respectful relationship with each client and emphasizes clients' own strengths and expertise about their lives.

Background and approach

Gordon helps people navigate a wide range of challenges including relationship concerns, anxiety and depression, coping with life changes, addiction, grief, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.

His style blends practical strategies with empathic listening; he employs approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and client-centered techniques to match interventions to individual needs.

Gordon frames the first steps in therapy as courageous and aims to support clients in pursuing greater meaning, improved mood, clearer goals, and better day-to-day functioning. He welcomes conversations about work-related struggles, intimacy and self-esteem, and longer-term mood or personality concerns while helping clients find actionable ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Gordon frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while client-centered work centers the client's experience and strengths to foster insight and personal growth. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are central, which offers research-informed exercises and communication tools to improve interactions and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. Gordon works with each person to evaluate goals, preferences, and practical needs, adapting techniques over time so the methods align with what the client finds helpful and meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes. These formats can make it easier to access regular support and apply new skills in day-to-day settings while working with licensed professionals to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
