Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Gregory blends Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas in his online work. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people live with uncertainty; it helps when someone feels stuck, empty, or uncertain about what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-based work considers early relationship patterns and how they show up now in close relationships and trust issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gregory works together with each person to see what feels most useful based on their goals and day-to-day life. He adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to shift so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that use gestures or worksheets. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, between-session coaching, or more frequent contact when schedules are tight.
