Gregory Kaufman

Gregory Kaufman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. He helps people move forward when life feels stuck, whether that looks like anger, anxiety, addiction, grief, or big life changes. Gregory aims to be a steady presence without judgement as someone works through hard moments.

He has worked in mental health since 2001 and has provided therapy since 2011. Over eleven years in clinical practice have included substantial work with substance abuse recovery, trauma, loss, and transitions. That experience shapes how he listens and how he plans work with each person.

Gregory draws from several approaches so sessions are adaptable. He commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based techniques, and client-centered methods. He also uses mindfulness, narrative ideas, family systems thinking, and personality work such as the Enneagram when helpful.

In sessions he looks for what the person is learning from day-to-day life and also examines family of origin patterns when those patterns matter. He prefers practical steps alongside reflective conversation. Many people come for help with anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with chronic stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place with Gregory in Massachusetts. He describes his role as supportive and nonjudgmental, aiming to help people find forward movement and clearer choices in their lives.

Online approaches that emphasize choices and coping

Gregory commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking concrete steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anger, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to develop practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns and managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory treats selecting methods as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different techniques have felt in the past, then tailor a plan that fits those priorities.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving commute time, allowing quicker check-ins during a break, or making it easier to continue care during transitions. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT and CBT tools online as in person, and Gregory adapts exercises and homework to work in everyday settings.
