Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Greg integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people develop more secure, satisfying relationships and healthier emotional responses.
He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present. Greg approaches treatment collaboratively - he works with each person to determine which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions as therapy evolves.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or on the go. Greg uses these options to provide consistent therapeutic support tailored to each person’s pace and lifestyle.
