About Gregory

Gregory Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. He has 11 years of experience in mental health and helps people who are dealing with issues like addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Gregory speaks English and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

He spent his undergraduate years studying psychology at California State University Dominguez Hills and earned a master’s degree in psychology from Brandman University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family and Professional Clinical Counseling. Over the past decade he has worked in settings that support people recovering from substance use with co-occurring disorders. He has also worked with LGBTQ clients, older adults, couples, children, and those facing grief and trauma.

In sessions he combines structured techniques with a collaborative tone. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills. He also draws on EMDR and Motivational Interviewing where appropriate to address trauma and motivation for change.

Gregory aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about anger, shame, relationship problems, and life transitions. He encourages small, concrete steps toward goals and reviews progress along the way. If someone wants to start, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy button.

His credentials include LMFT and LPCC in California. Session cost varies with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Gregory commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then practice new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can help with trauma and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Session delivery options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy consistent through moves or schedule changes. Ask about the available session formats when starting so arrangements match your daily routine and goals.
