About Gregory
Gregory Ullstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He also supports those facing addiction, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. Gregory speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use each day.
He starts by listening closely to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions are collaborative. He helps clients set small, doable goals and practices that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Gregory uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to address difficult thoughts and feelings. He blends these with a client-centered stance, which means conversations are guided by the person’s goals and pace. Therapy can include short skill-building exercises and longer conversations about meaning and values.
His experience includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and career issues. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, codependency, and compassion fatigue. Gregory is comfortable talking about identity-related concerns such as LGBT matters and gender dysphoria.
Sessions can focus on immediate coping skills, relapse prevention for substance concerns, or deeper emotional processing. People often come for help with communication problems, anger, or feeling empty, and leave with clearer next steps. Gregory aims to make therapy straightforward, respectful, and useful from the first appointment.
How his approaches work online and in sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that align with what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with depression, anxiety, and addictive behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the person's goals guide the work and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help progress.Gregory treats choosing an approach as a team effort. He listens to a person’s needs and preferences, then suggests methods to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan when needed so therapy stays practical and aligned with goals.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and longer work on skills. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to schedule during a break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
