How Greg’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Greg integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into his work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, while also teaching ways to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build healthier ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as sessions progress. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills, values work, or relational exploration as needs shift.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for continuity when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose quieter times for a focused check-in or shorter sessions that fit a work break. Ask about available session types when you schedule so you can pick what best fits your routine and needs.
