About Gordon
Gordon Pfannenstiel is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 15 years of experience working with adults on relationship and mood concerns. He focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Gordon frames the client as the expert in their own story and looks to build a trusting working relationship.
He helps people talk through relationship and intimacy-related problems. He also addresses stress, sleep difficulties, and anger through practical conversation and goal-setting. Addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD are among other areas he will discuss with clients.
Gordon uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions he listens for strengths and then works with clients to identify small steps that can change daily routines and thinking patterns. That often includes trying new ways of reacting and noticing what does and does not help.
He also helps people facing major life transitions like divorce, career shifts, or midlife questions. Topics such as guilt, forgiveness, control issues, and isolation are commonly part of this work. Sessions may include talking through recent events, setting short-term goals, and practicing skills between meetings.
Gordon describes his role as a supporter who collaborates on concrete next steps. People can expect straightforward conversation, feedback, and techniques drawn from the listed approaches to address the problems they bring.

How therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions
Gordon commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating a person's experience, and helping them find their own solutions. It helps when someone wants a collaborative conversation about their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gordon will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Confirm the session formats Gordon currently offers before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow practice of mindfulness and behavioral exercises between meetings to support day-to-day changes.
