About Gregory

Gregory Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. He brings 11 years of experience in mental health and offers straightforward care for people facing relationship strain, addiction recovery, mood concerns, and parenting stress.

Gregory’s background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University Dominguez Hills and a Master of Arts in Psychology from Brandman University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family and Professional Clinical Counseling.

Background and approach

Much of his work has focused on supporting people recovering from substance use who also have co-occurring mental health issues. He has several years of experience working with LGBTQ clients and has provided clinical services across the lifespan, including work with older adults and couples. He also holds a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Late Life Depression through Riverside County, California.

In sessions he uses practical, evidence-informed methods. He leans on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address mood, anxiety, and stress. For trauma-related concerns he may draw on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques when appropriate.

Gregory emphasizes clear communication, skill-building, and realistic goals. He helps people work through parenting pressures, grief, intimacy issues, and problems with communication and trust. He invites prospective clients to take the first step toward steadying daily life and relationships.

How Gregory Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Gregory commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in his clinical work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for trauma-related memories, using structured processing techniques to lessen distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregory will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you bring to decide which methods fit best. He explains options plainly and checks in as therapy progresses so techniques can be adjusted to meet changing needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others choose longer sessions for deep work; confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. The focus is on practical steps and skill-building that carry over into daily routines, helping people manage relationships, parenting demands, and recovery work with greater consistency.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
