About Gregory

Gregory "Greg" Dunford is an LCMHC with 28 years of counseling experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and helps people cope with major life changes. Greg draws on practical, research-informed methods to help people manage day-to-day struggles.

Greg centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens first and adapts tools to what each person needs. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people notice patterns, build useful skills, and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Greg uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused tools. He pairs skills practice with chances to look at relationship patterns and deeper emotional wounds. Sessions often include concrete techniques for managing emotions and steps to improve communication.

He brings life experience from many roles outside therapy - teacher, group leader, ranch manager, and parent - into his clinical work. Those experiences inform how he talks about grief, recovery, faith transitions, and the day-to-day choices people make.

People who come to Greg for help often want practical strategies and a thoughtful, steady guide. He works with clients to set achievable goals, practice new habits, and make changes that fit real life. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Greg’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward valued goals. It uses short practices and real-life experiments to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to change mood and symptoms. It often includes homework and brief skills practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and feeling, and it helps people try different ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Greg will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The plan can shift over time as needs change and as clients try different strategies.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone meet from a quieter room. Many people find online meetings work well for skills practice, reviewing homework, and talking through relationship concerns, while still fitting counseling around work, family, and other commitments.
