About Gregory

Gregory Kaufman, LICSW, practices in Massachusetts and has 11 years of experience as a clinician. He works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and related areas using the approaches he lists. He offers therapy in English and Spanish and uses a mix of methods he describes in his biography.

Gregory emphasizes practical change in day-to-day life. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people recognize patterns and shift unhelpful habits. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas when those fit the problem at hand.

He pays attention to family of origin and how early patterns influence current reactions. That work often looks at beliefs and habitual responses people carry forward. He also spends time on substance abuse recovery, trauma, loss, and life transitions where those issues are present.

Sessions focus on clear, usable strategies and conversational reflection. Gregory notes that people can learn about what needs to change from their daily experience rather than only from distant history. He uses mindfulness and narrative-based ideas alongside evidence-informed skills work.

Clients have told him they feel judged less and more understood. He frames therapy as collaborative problem-solving and reflection. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by encouraging practical steps tied to what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy, relationship strain, and family-origin issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use different communication setups depending on what works best for them, such as video when visual cues are helpful or audio for a simpler call. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like DBT skills coaching and CBT exercises to work across formats, helping clients practice skills between sessions.
