About Gregory

Dr. Gregory Lantz greets people who are worried about stress, anxiety, relationships, family tension, depression, or challenges with attention and focus. He writes in plain terms and aims to make the first conversations calm and straightforward.

His approach is practical and respectful, and he adjusts conversations to a person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. He holds a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and a PhD in Psychology, and he is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in Michigan.

Background and approach

With 17 years of experience, he has worked with a broad range of mood and anxiety concerns, relationship struggles, and attention issues such as ADHD and problems with executive functioning. In sessions he combines tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work.

That means he uses skills training, short-term goal-setting, and strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. He commonly helps people practice concrete coping skills for panic, social anxiety, low mood, and communication issues. Dr.

Lantz emphasizes collaboration. He and the client set goals and try approaches that fit the person’s life and values. Conversations are paced to match how a person thinks and learns, with options to revise plans based on what works.

He offers online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Prospective clients start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life concerns

Dr. Lantz commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors so stress, panic, and low mood become more manageable. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

He frames therapeutic approach as a collaborative choice. Early sessions are used to learn about the person’s goals and test which methods help most. Together they adjust the plan over time so techniques match the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Those formats let people practice skills between appointments, follow up with brief messages, or use real-time conversation when needed. The aim is to make accessing helpful tools easier, especially for busy families or people juggling many responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
