About Gregory

Gregory Kaufman is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who brings 11 years of therapy experience to his work. He focuses on helping people find a way forward through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and other life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Massachusetts.

Gregory emphasizes practical tools and everyday insight. He uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based methods, and client-centered work. Sessions mix skill-building with conversations about patterns that show up in daily life.

He often looks at how family of origin and attachment shape beliefs and reactions. That background helps identify repeated patterns without blaming the person for them. Gregory also draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice what is happening now and make different choices.

Much of his work has been with substance use recovery, trauma, loss, and major life transitions. He says people have told him they feel safe and not judged in his sessions. That sense of acceptance is a core part of how he supports change.

Gregory aims to tailor practical strategies to each person's goals. He encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress together. To begin, people use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule with him.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and some patterns around addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current reactions and intimacy struggles, which can be helpful for relationship issues and longstanding patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine approaches and adjust over time based on what is helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing therapy during life transitions or recovery work. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based tools to the online setting so practical skill practice and conversations continue across distance.
