About Gregory
Gregory Meriwether is a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan with over four decades of professional experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and mood concerns such as depression.
Background and approach
He approaches each client interaction with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and plans to the individual's needs and goals. His work also addresses relationship and intimacy matters, parenting and fatherhood issues, sleep difficulties, anger and self-esteem concerns, and coping with major life changes.
Gregory applies evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients working through process addictions, post-traumatic stress, multicultural and prejudice-related challenges, somatization, and traumatic brain injury. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and aims to empower people who are ready to make changes toward a more satisfying life.
How CBT and DBT Translate to Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this often includes setting clear goals, practicing new coping strategies, and tracking progress between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and patterns of behavior that harm daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and then recommends which techniques or combination of approaches may be most useful. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to ensure the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, homework assignments, and real-time coaching in ways that match a client’s lifestyle and comfort level.
