Background and approach
Greg builds a warm, empathetic space where clients can speak honestly without judgment. Early sessions focus on getting to know one another and identifying what matters most. From there he introduces tools and strategies that fit each person’s goals.
His approach is strengths-based and practical. He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Accountability and regular feedback help track what’s improving and what needs adjusting.
Sessions can include short-term problem solving or longer work on chronic issues like trauma, bipolar symptoms, or grief. Greg emphasizes collaboration so clients stay involved in decisions about their care. He encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Greg often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior ideas to help clients change difficult patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for regulating emotions, coping with strong feelings, and improving interactions with others.He approaches treatment collaboratively, so finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. They then try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust based on feedback and progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is preferable. Live chat and messaging can provide shorter check-ins, quick coaching prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy lives.
