How Gregory's approaches translate to online therapy

Gregory often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT sessions typically involve talking through specific situations, testing new ways of thinking, and trying practical exercises that can be used between meetings to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person seeking help. This approach helps clients feel understood and guides decisions about next steps. A touch of mindfulness practice is also used to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Gregory will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Goals and methods can be adjusted over time so the work fits what the client actually wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep momentum between sessions.
