About Gregory

Gregory Kaufman is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who centers his practice on evidence-informed therapies, with notable use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as DBT and attachment-focused work.

Background and approach

He frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify practical changes in daily life while also exploring family of origin patterns that shape beliefs and reactions. Gregory emphasizes that understanding present experience often reveals actionable paths forward without needing to search exclusively in the distant past.

With eleven years of direct clinical practice, he has substantial experience supporting people through substance abuse recovery, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. He values creating a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients feel safe to share difficult material, and he draws on a range of modalities including mindfulness, narrative techniques, and family systems ideas to tailor treatment.

Gregory offers services in English and Spanish and practices in Massachusetts as an LICSW, inviting prospective clients to begin the matching process when they feel ready.

Online approaches that meet you where you are



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance strategies with values-based action so people can pursue meaningful goals even when difficult feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns and aims to strengthen supported ways of relating and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, and he adapts interventions from CBT, ACT, and attachment work to fit those needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage therapy during transitions. These options allow for ongoing support, skills practice between sessions, and consistent contact with a licensed professional regardless of location within Massachusetts.
