About Gregory
Gregory Sims is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. He holds two master's degrees in clinical counseling and school counseling and has pursued extensive additional training, which supports a practice that blends psychotherapy with life coaching.
Background and approach
Gregory has worked with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions such as retirement or coping with illness. His work emphasizes a collaborative, results-oriented stance that pairs therapeutic techniques with practical coaching strategies.
Gregory uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, and emotion-focused approaches to help clients build coping skills, develop action plans, and create lasting change. He aims to form a team-like relationship with clients, prioritize clear goals, and move efficiently toward durable outcomes.
Clients can expect a focused, action-minded process that balances insight and skill-building. Gregory’s practice addresses additional areas like ADHD, parenting, body image, chronic illness, attachment issues, and caregiver stress, offering care that integrates emotional processing with concrete strategies for daily life.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Gregory incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for shifting behaviors and mood. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges because it focuses on skills and measurable changes. Attachment-based methods are also part of his work and explore relational patterns and emotional bonds; these approaches assist clients who want to understand how early relationships affect current communication and connection. Client-centered therapy contributes a person-focused foundation by prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the client’s own goals as the core of the therapeutic process.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods so therapy feels relevant and manageable. He combines insight-oriented conversations with coaching-style planning so clients can try concrete strategies between sessions and refine what works.
Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different lifestyles and learning styles. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules, continue therapy during life transitions, and maintain momentum through regular check-ins and skill practice.
