About Gregory
Gregory Meriwether is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with 42 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. He works with adults on relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes. Sessions also address ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coaching needs.
Over four decades in practice have given him a practical approach to common problems. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods when they fit the client's goals. Conversations focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways to respond to them.
Gregory describes work in straightforward terms. He listens to what is happening now, identifies patterns that keep problems going, and suggests concrete skills to try between sessions. Homework and small experiments are common so progress can be measured and adjusted.
He also works on deeper issues such as attachment, abandonment, fatherhood challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and effects of trauma including post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Process addictions such as gambling, exercise, and pornography are included in his scope of practice.
Gregory recognizes cultural and social factors like prejudice and discrimination when they affect mental health. He frames difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, and forgiveness as things that can be addressed with step-by-step strategies. Readers in Michigan can expect clear, goal-focused conversations aimed at practical change.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful actions. It breaks difficulties into small, testable steps and often uses short exercises or homework to build new habits. DBT teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match techniques to their goals and preferences, trying methods and adjusting based on what helps. That means sessions can shift between learning skills, practicing reactions, and reviewing real-life experiments.
The original biography does not list session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing scheduling around work or family obligations. They also allow concise check-ins, focused skill practice during a break, or working without being on camera when that suits the person. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to choose what fits best.
