Gregory Meriwether is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. He brings over 42 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and depression. He focuses on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care that centers each person's situation and goals.

He adapts conversations and treatment to match what each person needs. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use day to day. Gregory encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time and help with everyday struggles.

His background includes long-term work with concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, sleep problems, and self-esteem. He also attends to aging and geriatric issues and matters like abandonment, attachment, and veteran-related concerns when they arise.

Gregory uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. He blends these methods to suit the person sitting across from him rather than following a single script.

Using CBT and DBT in online therapy

Gregory uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching specific coping strategies and small behavior changes.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are repeatedly strained.

Finding the right combine of approaches is part of the work. Gregory will review goals, preferences, and daily routines with each person and suggest which methods to try first. He treats the plan as flexible and adjusts it based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work on skills that translate directly to their home routines and daily responsibilities.
