About Gregory Kaufman
Gregory Kaufman is a Massachusetts-based LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with 11 years of professional therapy experience who first entered the mental health field in 2001 and has been conducting clinical work since 2011. He approaches therapy from a stance that there is always a way forward and that being present with lived experience matters - even in the midst of ongoing struggle. Gregory integrates a range of approaches, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative work, mindfulness practices, family systems perspectives, and personality-focused tools such as the Enneagram to tailor care to each individual's needs.
He balances attention to immediate, day-to-day patterns with exploration of family-of-origin influences that shape long-standing beliefs and responses. Across his career he has worked extensively in substance abuse recovery, trauma and abuse, loss and life transitions, and other areas including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting, grief, and eating and mood concerns. Clients have reported feeling safe and nonjudged in his presence, a reflection of his respectful, supportive stance. He provides therapy in English and Spanish and practices out of Massachusetts.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for real-life challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward the life they want while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and managing ongoing life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early bonding patterns to understand how connection and attachment influence current behavior and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, relationship struggles, and family-of-origin work.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth and self-directed change. It is especially useful when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore identity, self-esteem, or grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gregory works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as those needs evolve.
Online therapy adds practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and therapists can also connect through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to maintain continuity of support across transitions and schedules.
