About Dedra
Dedra Gregory is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings seven years of counseling experience and a background in rehabilitation counseling to meetings with clients. She focuses on practical skills that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and work-related challenges.
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on clear, achievable goals. In sessions she emphasizes psychological flexibility - learning to adapt when life changes or gets difficult.
Background and approach
The work often centers on building self-awareness, practicing new choices, and using problem solving to reach short-term and long-term goals. Homework between sessions can include journaling, reading, art, or other activities that support learning and reflection. Her style is interactive and grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas.
That means she helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and track what works. She also uses client-centered listening to keep the conversation rooted in each person’s needs. Dedra blends practical coaching with therapeutic techniques.
Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use after therapy ends. She offers live video and phone sessions in the evening, and live chat during the day, with some scheduling flexibility to accommodate different routines. People choose her for straightforward, goal-focused work that emphasizes skill building and everyday strategies.
The approach is hands-on and collaborative, designed for parents and adults looking for clear steps forward.
Approaches and online options for practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. The therapist offers empathetic, nonjudgmental attention and follows the client’s lead to set goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to name what matters and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, concrete exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem solving around career or relationships.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses careful questions and reflection to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can be helpful for habits or addictions and for making lasting life changes.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online sessions make this work more flexible. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet face to face from home in the evenings, while live chat and text options provide shorter check-ins during the day. These formats help fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and keep progress steady between meetings.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
