Gregory Kaufman, LICSW

Gregory Kaufman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who centers his work on practical, day-to-day change. He offers straightforward conversation and steady support so people can find a way forward through stress, grief, addiction, and other challenges. His tone is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on being present in whatever someone is facing.

He has provided therapy since 2011 and brings 11 years of clinical experience to sessions. That experience includes work in substance abuse recovery, trauma, loss, and major life transitions. He aims to help people notice how their current experience reveals what needs to change, not only past events.

His approach combines several methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered conversation. He often pays attention to family of origin patterns to show how old beliefs and reactions still shape daily life.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Gregory listens without judgment and helps people name what matters, try different responses, and practice new ways of coping. He also uses tools like mindfulness and narrative reflection when helpful.

He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Massachusetts. People who want to begin are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, depression, and coping with chronic illness or life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and reacting. This approach can help with intimacy issues, relationship patterns, and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Sessions often mix practical skill-building with discussions about patterns and meaning.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like mindfulness practices or tracking between sessions without changing their routine.
