About Gregory
Gregory Kaufman is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people move forward. He emphasizes staying present with what someone is feeling while naming simple steps that can make everyday life easier. Gregory speaks English and Spanish and practices in Massachusetts.
He has worked in mental health since 2001 and has provided therapy since 2011, bringing eleven years of clinical experience. His work often centers on recovery from substance use, trauma, grief, and major life changes. He pays attention to patterns people live with now as well as how family history shapes those patterns.
His sessions draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered methods. In plain terms he helps people notice unhelpful habits, learn coping skills, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. He also uses narrative ideas and mindfulness to help people tell the story of their lives with more choice.
Gregory pays particular attention to relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues. He also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, parenting strain, career stress, and identity questions. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can try out changes at a manageable pace.
If someone is ready to explore practical steps, develop clearer boundaries, or work through difficult losses, he offers collaborative care focused on what feels useful day to day.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and making changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management because it breaks big problems into clear steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are helpful for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal boundaries.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options with the provider before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering options when a quieter or lower-bandwidth setup is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to practical, everyday problems so work between sessions feels manageable.
