Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon

Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds the LMFT credential and practices in North Carolina. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, depression, anxiety, anger, and major life changes.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens to each person's story and tailors sessions to practical goals. Sessions can focus on coping skills, communication, managing stress, and rebuilding after loss or trauma.

Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon draws from several therapy traditions to match the needs of each person. She uses client-centered methods to prioritize the person's perspective. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Existential ideas support people working through meaning and life transitions.

She has experience with trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse, and with high-conflict relationships. She also helps with parenting challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues that come from family of origin patterns. Anger and coping with strong emotions are listed among her specialties.

Her work is culturally aware and multilingual, reflecting time spent living in different countries. Sessions are offered in English, Armenian, and Persian. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are made through the platform’s scheduling process.

To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The therapist views the process as collaborative, helping people set clear steps toward improved functioning and greater emotional balance.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful space where individuals set the pace and goals of work. This approach is useful for people who need support processing emotions, building self-esteem, or working through relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, anger management, and stress-related problems.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and life transitions. It helps people facing grief, major life changes, or questions about purpose by encouraging reflection and clearer decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted to fit what helps most.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and let people check in from a place that suits their schedule. It also allows for shorter touch-base appointments when needed and can support regular, consistent work on anger, coping skills, communication, and life transitions.
