Background and approach
Gregory’s background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University Dominguez Hills and a Master’s in Psychology from Brandman University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family/Professional Clinical Counseling. He also holds a California LMFT and a California LPCC.
Gregory has worked over a decade in settings that included substance recovery and co-occurring disorders, and he has experience with LGBTQ populations, children, couples, and older adults. His practice covers a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.
In sessions he draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, the Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing. He focuses on skills people can use between meetings and on small changes that build over time. Gregory emphasizes listening first, then setting simple goals together.
He encourages people to take gradual steps toward healing and clearer relationships. If someone wants help with phobias, addiction recovery, or improving communication, he offers a straightforward, goal-oriented style.
How therapeutic approaches fit into remote sessions
Gregory often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, and depression because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. DBT emphasizes practical strategies like emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced between sessions.
EMDR is another approach in his toolbox that focuses on processing traumatic memories and painful experiences through structured protocols and bilateral stimulation. It can help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports consistent practice of skills between appointments, which complements CBT, DBT, and EMDR-focused work.
