Gregory Kaufman, LICSW

Gregory Kaufman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who brings 11 years of therapy experience to his work. He focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, addiction, grief, depression, or relationship strain make everyday life harder. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in Massachusetts.

Gregory aims for straightforward, steady support. He listens without judgment and helps people notice what their daily life is already showing them. He uses clear tools from approaches like CBT, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help manage symptoms and build skills.

He also pays attention to how family patterns shape current problems. Looking at family of origin can highlight long-running beliefs and reactions, and he helps people decide what to keep and what to change. He often combines that work with attention to attachment and emotional connection.

Many clients come for help with substance use recovery, trauma, loss, and life transitions. Gregory describes his role as a steady presence who helps people find forward steps while staying present with difficult feelings. He values collaboration and practical change.

Sessions tend to focus on real, usable strategies such as coping skills, behavioral experiments, and clearer communication. Gregory works to make therapy feel usable in day-to-day life rather than as abstract talk. He invites people to start where they are and take manageable steps toward their goals.

How Gregory’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values guides practical choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to change behavior and mood. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and responding in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Gregory works collaboratively to figure out which combination of methods fits a person’s needs and goals. He will adjust strategies based on what’s working and what isn’t so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue work through transitions or when local providers are limited. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote sessions so skill practice and behavioral experiments remain usable in day-to-day life.
