About Gregory
Gregory "Greg" Dunford brings nearly three decades of counseling experience and a practical, person-centered approach to therapy. He is an LCMHC and works from an Existential perspective alongside evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Greg speaks in straightforward terms and focuses on usable tools that clients can apply between sessions.
Greg helps people navigate life changes, grief, and the aftermath of separation.
Background and approach
He often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment challenges, and patterns like codependency or avoidant tendencies. His work includes attention to fatherhood issues, body image, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. In sessions he blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques.
That mix is aimed at helping people notice what matters to them, change unhelpful patterns, and build concrete skills for calmer days. He also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship struggles and intimacy barriers. Greg draws on a broad life history that includes teaching, running therapeutic programs for adolescents, work with addiction groups, and many years of supporting people through grief.
Those experiences shape a down-to-earth style that values lived wisdom as part of healing. People meet him and find practical steps to try right away. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients name goals, try new approaches, and adapt tools that fit their daily lives.

Online support
Approach and access for online care
Greg blends Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Existential therapy helps people face big life questions, clarify values, and find meaning when life feels uncertain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that match a person’s values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they connect and feel safe with others.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. The aim is to find practical steps that match the client’s life rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging is handy for quick exercises, on-the-go reflections, or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping focus on meaningful change.
