Gregory Sims, LPC

Gregory Sims is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. He holds two master's degrees in counseling and works from Colorado. He combines psychotherapy and life coaching to help people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps forward.

He focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. He also helps with relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, eating and body image worries, and challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or major life changes. ADHD and compassion fatigue are also listed areas of focus.

Gregory uses approaches that include cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based work, dialectical skills, emotion-focused tools, and client-centered conversation. Sessions aim to blend insight with clear action plans so people can practice new skills between meetings. The tone is direct and goal-oriented while staying supportive.

People who prefer a practical style often do well with Gregory. He emphasizes teamwork - therapist and client setting goals together - and moves toward solutions step by step. Progress is measured in concrete changes like better coping, clearer communication, or reduced anxiety symptoms.

He offers several online formats including video, phone, chat, and text messaging. International clients who speak English may work with him. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to fit their needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Gregory commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work when meeting with clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors so people can reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and connection, which can help with relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. That means sessions can mix skill practice, problem-solving, and reflective conversation until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written skill coaching, or step-by-step planning between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to connect from different locations and schedules while keeping focus on practical change and skill building.
