About Gregory
Gregory Kelley is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help families and parents facing conflict and stress. He draws on two decades of experience in Massachusetts to guide people through anger, trauma, and difficult family patterns. Gregory keeps language simple and focuses on clear steps families can take at home.
He treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Gregory helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of relating to others. His work includes strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and actions.
He also uses attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and improve how family members connect. Dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy add tools for managing intense emotions and clarifying values. In meetings he offers practical skills rather than long lectures.
Parents receive concrete suggestions they can try between sessions. Families learn small routines that reduce conflict and increase cooperation. With 20 years of experience Gregory aims for steady, realistic progress.
He supports people while they practice new habits and adapt them to everyday life. The emphasis stays on what helps most at home and what feels doable for each family.
Online approaches that fit family needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while accepting hard feelings. It can help parents decide how they want to show up even when stress is high. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is useful for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and shifting patterns that fuel family conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and daily life. He combines tools from different approaches when that serves the family better, and adapts plans as progress is made.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy easier to fit into busy family schedules. These options allow for more flexible timing and different ways to practice skills between meetings. Online formats can make it simpler to keep regular contact and to try new strategies at home where they will be used.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
