About Gregory
Gregory Kaufman is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 11 years of practice as a therapist. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction, grief, and ADHD. Gregory offers straightforward support and calm presence for people facing hard times.
He began work in mental health in 2001 and started providing therapy in 2011. Over that time he has supported people through substance recovery, trauma, loss, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
His approach blends practical strategies with attention to how past family patterns shape present behavior. In sessions he uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused tools to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also draws on acceptance-based ideas that focus on values and willingness to act in meaningful directions despite difficult feelings.
Gregory values creating a nonjudgmental space where people can talk plainly about what’s happening in their lives. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and works with them to build small, manageable changes that fit day-to-day life. He offers therapy in English and Spanish for people located in Massachusetts.
Gregory encourages a collaborative process - clients set goals and he helps design steps to move toward them. If someone wants to explore change, he invites them to begin with a brief questionnaire and a scheduling step to connect.
How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises to notice thoughts and practice value-driven steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. Over video or messaging, CBT can use worksheets, thought logs, and behavioral experiments tailored to daily routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns that shape how people connect and respond to others; in remote sessions this can mean talking through relationship histories and trying new ways of relating in real time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns arise, so sessions stay flexible and goal-focused.
Online therapy with Gregory is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat can allow quick check-ins, and text messaging suits brief updates or day-to-day coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
