About Gregory
Gregory Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 11 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and related concerns. Gregory uses straightforward, skills-based work aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical coping skills for managing strong emotions. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing appears in his work with substance use and behavior change. The Gottman Method informs his approach to relationship issues and communication problems.
Gregory’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University Dominguez Hills and a master’s in psychology from Brandman University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family/Professional Clinical Counseling. He has spent much of his career supporting people recovering from substance use with co-occurring conditions and has experience working with LGBTQ individuals, couples, older adults, and children in prior roles.
In sessions he focuses on clear, teachable tools. That can mean skill building for frustration and anger, strategies to reduce anxiety, or stepwise plans to address compulsive behaviors. Discussion is paired with homework and tracked progress so people notice change between visits.
Gregory works in California and practices in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Gregory often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. CBT sessions typically focus on clear tasks and brief practices that can be reviewed between meetings.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT tools are practical and can be practiced during daily life to reduce reactive anger. When trauma is a key issue, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of the work to process memories and reduce their hold on current feelings.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Gregory will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. He checks in as work proceeds and adjusts strategies based on what helps.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to try skill practice in their everyday routines and then bring observations back to the next meeting.
