Gregory Kelley

Gregory Kelley is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in Massachusetts. He focuses on family stress, trauma and abuse, anger, and parenting concerns. Gregory aims to help people recognize their strengths and take practical steps toward change.

He believes people know their stories best and that the therapist's role is to support and empower. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what feels useful in day-to-day life. Gregory encourages small, achievable steps that build toward larger change.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying personal values and taking committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connections.

Over two decades he has worked with people facing intense emotional challenges and family conflict. That experience informs a practical style that balances emotional understanding with concrete tools. Gregory aims for clear, manageable strategies rather than long lists of techniques.

People who choose to work with him can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. He invites questions and checks in on progress as part of every session. To begin, clients follow the standard start process and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most. It supports taking small steps toward a values-based life, which can be helpful for anger and parenting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connections, helping people understand patterns in family conflict and build more helpful ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gregory will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use tools and exercises between meetings to practice skills discussed in sessions. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect during the first meeting.
