About Gregory

Gregory Harbaugh, LMFT, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and identity concerns. He uses a straightforward, person-centered style that focuses on where someone is right now and what they most need. Sessions aim to make you feel heard, reduce distressing symptoms, and develop clearer ways to move forward.

Gregory draws on 17 years of clinical experience in California. He meets people with a wide range of challenges, including grief, parenting strain, self-esteem issues, bipolar and mood disorders, and concerns related to attachment and intimacy.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with OCD, post-traumatic stress, and cultural or gender-related questions. In sessions he blends approaches to fit each person. That may include Attachment-Based work to look at patterns in close relationships, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought and behavior cycles, and mindfulness practices for grounding.

He aims for practical strategies you can use between meetings as well as space to talk things through. Gregory emphasizes collaboration. He will listen first, then tailor a plan that reflects your goals and strengths.

He is a California licensed marriage and family therapist and keeps up with continuing education to refine his skills. Outside of therapy he is involved in the creative arts and brings that perspective into his work when helpful. If you want support with coping skills, relationship patterns, or life transitions, he offers clear, compassionate guidance to help you take the next step.

Online support

How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online

Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and where those patterns come from. Online sessions can help people notice how past connections shape current reactions and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. In an online setting this looks like straightforward conversation, reflective feedback, and collaborative goal setting so clients feel understood and clear about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over video or messaging CBT can include worksheets, step-by-step strategies, and short between-session exercises to track progress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those priorities. Adjustments are made as needed so work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers real flexibility - video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or video is difficult, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle quick mood checks, or practice skills in real time while life is happening.
