About Gregory
Gregory Meriwether is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with over four decades of professional experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. His approach is down-to-earth and aimed at people who want straightforward support and clear steps forward.
He favors direct conversations that identify what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions are shaped to each person's situation and goals.
Background and approach
He uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills and emotional balance. Gregory emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. He aims to create a space where people can talk about shame, guilt, or past trauma without judgment.
He also helps with relationship issues, intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Work with him often includes practical exercises to try between meetings and coaching to support real-world changes. He also addresses specific areas such as fatherhood issues, multicultural stressors, veteran concerns, and process addictions when they relate to the client's goals.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Gregory uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability.

How CBT and DBT translate to online work
Gregory uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior. CBT often focuses on concrete exercises and experiments you can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking.He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which emphasizes building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make everyday life harder.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts strategies as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and practical.
Online formats make regular work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, coaching prompts, or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. Together these options provide flexibility and make it easier to use therapeutic skills in daily life.
