About Gregory

Gregory Kaufman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. He centers work on what people are living through now and helps them find manageable steps forward. Gregory often works with men and those concerned with men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of life challenges.

He brings 11 years of direct therapy experience and over two decades in the mental health field overall. He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He also draws on attachment-focused ideas and client-centered conversation to build trust and clarity.

Common areas he addresses include stress, anxiety, addiction and substance recovery, trauma and loss, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and career strain. He also helps people dealing with grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and complicated family dynamics. Gregory names family of origin work as a key way to notice repeated patterns that affect daily life.

Sessions are conversational and nonjudgmental. He aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and start testing small changes. He emphasizes noticing current experience and practical strategies rather than only digging into the distant past.

Gregory offers services in Massachusetts and speaks English and Spanish. He asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How certain approaches guide online work

Gregory often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and getting unstuck when avoidance has taken hold.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in relationships and experiment with new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Gregory will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or family obligations. If a phone session is preferable, it can be useful when internet speed or being on camera is a concern. The focus is on finding ways to make therapy usable in everyday life rather than forcing a single format.
