Greg Zuk

Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and other life challenges. He works with adults on issues like depression, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship and family strain, grief, and self-esteem. Greg aims to help clients take practical steps toward feeling better and managing daily struggles.

Greg has a long history of work in both inpatient and outpatient settings. He has provided individual and group care, and has experience with residential units and treatment centers. Recently he shifted to offering online work to reach more people across West Virginia and beyond within his licensure limits.

His approach is straightforward and focused on problem solving. He uses common-sense methods alongside evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed work. He also draws on client-centered, solution-focused, family therapy, and human development ideas to build a plan that fits each person.

Initial steps typically include an evaluation to map current challenges and goals. From there he helps create a personal plan and supports clients as they take action toward change. Sessions emphasize practical tools and small steps that add up over time.

Greg communicates in English and practices under a West Virginia LICSW. If you want to explore working together, start by completing the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Greg commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by teaching concrete skills to manage thoughts and reactions.

He also uses trauma-informed methods to recognize how past hurt affects current behavior and coping. That work emphasizes safety, pacing, and skills to reduce reactivity and manage difficult memories or triggers.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing work to continue around appointments. It can also let people pick session types that match their needs, like shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
