About Gregory

Gregory Ullstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, parenting strain, grief, and other life changes. Gregory also lists work with LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.

He frames therapy around the client's own knowledge of their life. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Gregory uses evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive tools, mindfulness, and emotion-focused interventions. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to build small, useful changes for day-to-day life.

In the room he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then he helps people try different responses, test them, and adjust. He uses motivational interviewing when people want to change habits like substance use or to increase follow-through on decisions.

Clients who are juggling work and parenting often get short-term strategies for stress and communication. He also works with people facing grief, chronic illness, or caregiver strain. Sessions cover thinking patterns, emotions, and practical skills for handling difficult days.

Gregory expects therapy to be collaborative. He checks in about progress and adapts methods based on what helps most. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How Gregory uses specific approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and commit to actions that fit those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by reframing how thoughts relate to behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and actions, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions drive interaction patterns and can help people understand and name feelings that affect their close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that match those needs. He adapts what he uses based on what proves helpful during early sessions rather than sticking to a single method.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain momentum while they work on stress, parenting challenges, grief, or habit change.
