How Greg works
Accountability and regular feedback are part of his process to track real progress. His work blends client-centered listening with goal-oriented techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal motivation and solution-focused strategies to identify immediate next steps.
Sessions often mix short-term coaching with deeper therapeutic work, depending on each person’s needs. Greg has worked in a range of settings over the last nine years, including independent practice, rehabilitation programs, and inpatient psychiatric units. That variety informs his ability to adjust pace and tools to fit different life situations.
He describes his approach as strength-based and practical, aiming for improvements people can notice week to week. People who choose Greg typically want a straightforward therapist who listens, offers usable coping tools, and helps them stay on track. He encourages anyone ready to make a change to take the first step and begin exploring what might help.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and progress
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding the person’s experience first, then shaping goals together. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Greg will discuss options and adapt methods based on each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can shift between short-term problem solving and longer-term skill building as progress unfolds.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick touchpoints, brief coaching, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
