Background and approach
That leads into clear goals and manageable steps that feel doable between sessions. He emphasizes accountability and regular feedback to track progress. His sessions often focus on skills and problem-solving.
Techniques come from cognitive behavioral methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with motivational interviewing and solution-focused work used when appropriate. Greg also uses client-centered principles to keep the person’s values and strengths at the center of the work. Beyond therapy for urgent problems, he offers coaching-style support for people who want to improve performance in athletics, work, or personal growth.
Those sessions prioritize practical planning, routine-building, and follow-up to help reach concrete goals. Greg has provided services in independent practice, rehabilitation settings, and psychiatric units. He aims to match tools to each person’s life and pace, helping them find steady, lasting change.
If someone is ready to begin, he encourages taking a first step and scheduling a conversation.

04Online support
How Greg’s approaches translate into online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. In practice this means starting sessions by hearing what matters most to the person and shaping goals around their strengths and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. That approach helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills in clear, step-by-step ways that suit people who get overwhelmed by strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try techniques, and adjust based on results and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps match methods to a person’s goals rather than forcing a single style.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, fit therapy into a busy life, and use the format that supports progress.
