About Gregory
Gregory Kaufman is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who brings 11 years of therapy experience to his practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Gregory speaks English and Spanish and works with adults seeking practical help and steady support.
He favors clear, down-to-earth conversation. Sessions often start with identifying what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
Gregory draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to offer tools for coping, regulation, and shifting unhelpful thinking. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people find values and build healthier connections. That can mean learning new ways to respond to relationship pain, intimacy struggles, or patterns rooted in family of origin.
He believes small, steady changes in daily life make a big difference over time. Gregory has worked extensively with people in substance abuse recovery, trauma, and loss. He listens without judgment and aims to create a calm, non-blaming space where people can talk through difficult experiences and try new strategies.
Practical matters are part of his approach. Sessions may involve skills practice, values work, and short-term coaching around career or parenting challenges. People leave with concrete steps to try between visits and a clearer sense of what to focus on next.

Approaches and options for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes by focusing on what matters rather than fighting every thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and working through habits related to addiction and eating issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily realities, then suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust plans if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and texting are helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, handle short work breaks, or use quieter formats when sitting on camera is difficult.
