About Gregory
Gregory "Greg" Dunford brings a cognitive behavioral orientation to a broad, client-led practice grounded in nearly three decades of counseling and coaching. He blends practical, research-informed tools with trauma-aware care to help people explore self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
Background and approach
Greg emphasizes solution-focused work and skills that clients can use between sessions to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. His background includes training in several therapeutic approaches such as DBT, ACT, attachment-based and client-centered methods, and he draws on those alongside CBT to address relationship and intimacy challenges.
Greg also works with issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control problems, sexual shame recovery, grief, and addiction-related concerns. He combines professional experience with life experience from roles as a teacher, ranch director, group addiction counselor, and long-term partner and parent, which he says has informed his empathy and practical problem-solving.
Greg is licensed as an LCMHC in Utah and conducts sessions in English. He offers a collaborative, down-to-earth style focused on helping clients rebuild sustainable, generative relationships and stronger self-awareness through tailored therapeutic practices.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that prioritize skills and connection
Greg integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and clarify personal values that guide change. CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with one’s values, which can help with life transitions and persistent emotional struggles.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns and how early bonds affect current intimacy and communication. That perspective can illuminate patterns around abandonment, codependency, and commitment difficulties and supports work to create healthier interactions. Together these approaches are used collaboratively so the therapist and client can determine which methods best fit the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy with Greg is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage in skills practice, work through relationship issues, or maintain continuity of care during life’s transitions while fitting therapy into varied schedules.
