About Gregory
Gregory Sims is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 12 years of experience. He holds two master’s degrees in clinical counseling and school counseling and combines psychotherapy with life coaching. He focuses on clear goals, practical steps, and measurable progress so clients see change rather than only talk about it.
He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and relationship problems. His background includes training in several evidence-informed methods. Gregory favors a team-oriented style.
He sets goals alongside the person seeking support and creates an action plan to reach them. Sessions mix practical skills, problem solving, and focused emotional work so progress can be tracked over time. He uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused methods, attachment-based ideas, and tools from dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the issue.
He also offers EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate. His sessions aim to produce coping tools, clearer communication, and plans people can use outside the therapy hour. Clients can expect direct feedback, step-by-step coaching, and an emphasis on durable change.
Gregory brings steady experience and a pragmatic mindset to help people move forward from difficult situations.
How Gregory’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how connections and early relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to look at patterns in relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions this often includes brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and comfort level. He will explain options, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps the most in real life.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments. The combination of practical CBT tools and attachment-focused conversation can be delivered across these online formats to support steady progress.
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.
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.
