Greg emphasizes practices clients can use between sessions to notice patterns and make different choices.
He keeps language simple and actionable so people can try things right away. Greg works from Utah and conducts sessions in English. He aims to help people navigate depression, communication problems, body image concerns, and the emotional work that follows separation or divorce.

Online support
Attachment and Action Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance and find new ways to connect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals, helpful for anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to create concrete steps that reduce symptoms like worry or depression.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Greg will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. The work is collaborative and paced to what the client can use between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and practicing new communication skills, while phone calls require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can provide short check-ins or help people stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to use approaches like attachment work and ACT in everyday life.
