About Dedra
Dedra Gregory is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina who brings seven years of documented clinical experience to her therapeutic work.
Background and approach
She centers sessions on helping clients become fully functioning in ways that matter to them, emphasizing tools and skills people can continue to use after counseling ends. Her work is grounded in encouraging psychological flexibility and tailoring pacing to each person's needs, with clear, collaborative goal-setting guiding the process.
Her style is interactive and practical, emphasizing self-awareness, choice, problem solving, and present- and future-focused goals. Sessions often include between-session activities such as journaling, reading, art, or other exercises to support insight and skill development.
Dedra has experience working with adolescents and adults across diverse backgrounds and has helped clients with anxiety, depression, career challenges, stress, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, anger, addictions, self-esteem, and coaching-related goals. She offers multiple session formats including daytime live chat and evening video and phone appointments and aims to accommodate scheduling needs when possible.
Dedra encourages clients to set the pace in therapy and collaborates with each person to determine the most useful strategies and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Dedra often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood, then develops practical strategies to test and change those patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions and develop self-directed growth.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adjusting methods over time so the work aligns with evolving needs and outcomes.
Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These options allow for flexibility in timing and communication style, support consistent attendance when in-person meetings are difficult, and provide different ways to practice skills between sessions depending on what the client finds most comfortable and effective.
