He brings 28 years of counseling experience and a steady, approachable style to sessions. Greg aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, communicate, and regain balance in daily life.
Greg focuses on real skills and straightforward practices. He draws on cognitive and behavior-based methods to reduce worry and on attachment-informed thinking to address relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
His work often centers on improving communication, managing emotions, and handling life transitions with less overwhelm. Across nearly three decades Greg has worked in many settings including schools, residential programs, and group addiction work. That background shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of helping people learn new habits and habits of thought.
He combines hands-on coaching with therapeutic listening to support growth over time. People come to Greg for help with depression, coping with loss, control issues, and patterns such as avoidance or codependency. He often supports those dealing with commitment fears, body image concerns, or the aftermath of separation and forgiveness challenges.
Sessions focus on noticeable, usable steps instead of abstract theory. Greg holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC. He works with adults in Utah and conducts sessions in English.
His style is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. He encourages practical experiments between sessions to test what helps in real life.
How Greg’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It teaches small, purposeful steps to reduce avoidance and live more deliberately, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that increase worry or low mood. It uses practical exercises and homework to build new habits that reduce symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Greg will talk with each person about goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That process often begins in the first few sessions so the work matches what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations and is helpful for skill practice and demonstrations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and work well for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer short, timely support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
