About Gregory
Gregory "Greg" Dunford is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 28 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with major life changes. Greg lists codependency among his focus areas and often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting limits, or losing themselves in relationships.
Greg favors approaches that emphasize practical skills and emotional awareness. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior.
Sessions tend to include direct conversation, behavior-focused exercises, and homework to practice between meetings. He also brings experience from running addiction groups and works with issues such as betrayal trauma, recovery from sexual shame, grief, and fatherhood concerns. Greg combines clinical work with life experience from decades as a teacher, ranch leader, and parent.
Clients can expect a straightforward, skills-oriented style that addresses both thoughts and emotions. He helps people rebuild healthier relationship patterns, including communication and boundary setting. Practical tools and step-by-step practices are a regular part of his work.
Outside of counseling, Greg spends time outdoors hiking, biking, horseback riding, and playing pickleball. His broad life experience informs how he talks about loss, recovery, and change with those he sees.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Greg often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when thoughts are uncomfortable, which helps with avoidance, codependency patterns, and life transitions. CBT looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs and priorities shift during treatment.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter phone check-in can work during a lunch break, or a video session lets someone join from another town. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy fit regular routines rather than on a particular delivery method.
