About Gregory
Gregory Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 11 years of experience. He lists concerns including addictions, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, trauma and parenting among others. Gregory uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people manage overwhelming feelings and repair strained connections at home.
Clients who reach out often want to reduce anxiety, cope with grief, or address problems with intimacy and trust. He also works with people facing addiction, shame, or challenges tied to HIV/AIDS. Gregory mentions communication problems, forgiveness, and self-esteem as common themes he addresses in sessions.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Motivational Interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method inform how he talks about relationship patterns and goals.
In practice he tends to focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. Sessions typically include setting small goals, practicing new ways of handling conflict, and checking what works between meetings. He highlights practical change over theory and aims to make therapy feel doable for people juggling family and work.
Gregory trained at California State University Dominguez Hills for his bachelor's degree and completed a master’s in psychology at Brandman University with a Marriage and Family/Professional Clinical Counseling emphasis. His stated background includes work with people recovering from substance use and those facing co-occurring disorders.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Gregory commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or compulsive habits and teaches practical tools to test new ways of responding.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills in managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT skills target emotional ups and downs and help with anger, relationship conflict, and impulsive responses. When past trauma is a focus, he may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity.
Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT strategies, EMDR, motivational interviewing, or relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method.
Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss pacing, homework between sessions, and how to use the time to focus on parenting, relationship repairs, or managing stress at home.
