Background and approach

She uses practical tools from different therapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals.

She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, values, and deeper personal themes. Hypnotherapy is available as an additional option for certain issues when appropriate. Her background includes work with survivors and offenders of domestic and sexual abuse, plus experience supporting people through grief, trauma, and high-conflict relationships.

She notes caregiver stress, parenting challenges, and life transitions among common concerns. Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT - with license numbers listed for California and Connecticut.

She offers sessions in multiple formats, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and accepts international clients.

Therapy Approaches and How They Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals, giving space for clients to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports growth. It helps when someone needs empathy and clear personal direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces simple skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem solving.

Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, values, and life choices when facing big transitions or emptiness. It invites questions about what matters and how to live in line with those answers.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try approaches that match your goals and comfort level. If one method doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for shorter, focused conversations. These formats can make therapy more accessible for busy schedules or when travel is difficult.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
