About Gregory
Gregory Kaufman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with eleven years of therapy experience. He focuses on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety while helping people navigate big life changes. Gregory speaks English and Spanish and works with adults in Massachusetts.
He uses straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at skills you can use between meetings. Gregory has spent a lot of his career supporting people through substance use recovery, trauma, and grief. He also helps with relationship difficulties, parenting stress, workplace strain, and struggles with mood such as depression and bipolar disorder.
He pays attention to how family history shows up in daily life and choices. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and an emphasis on real-world tools like behavioral changes, emotional regulation skills, and values-based decision making. He believes small shifts over time lead to meaningful change.
Gregory meets people where they are and helps them figure out what to try next. To begin, he asks about what matters most now and what goals feel useful. From there he and the client choose strategies from CBT, DBT, ACT, or attachment-focused work that fit the situation and preferences.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings arise. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and eating or substance concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and how early relationship experiences shape current reactions, helping people shift how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory will listen to your situation, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. He often combines elements from ACT, CBT, and attachment work so sessions feel relevant and doable rather than academic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and demands. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth, chat is useful for shorter reflections, and messaging supports ongoing work between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or recovery routines while focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
