About Gregory
Gregory "Greg" Dunford offers a mindfulness-informed approach to therapy that helps people slow down and notice what matters. He combines practical tools with calm attention so clients can respond to stress, anxiety, and relationship strain with more clarity. Greg is an LCMHC with 28 years of clinical and life experience in Utah.
He centers sessions on what each person needs right now. Greg uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside mindfulness practices to help people make values-driven choices. He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to strengthen how people connect and communicate in relationships.
Greg has worked in many settings, from schools and ranch programs to addiction groups. That variety informs how he tailors support for depression, life changes, intimacy concerns, and issues like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. He aims to offer straightforward tools that fit into everyday life.
Grief and fatherhood have shaped his perspective after personal losses and family challenges. Those experiences contribute to his focus on forgiveness, guilt, and rebuilding after separation or loss. He emphasizes steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Greg helps people practice coping skills, build healthier relationship patterns, and manage impulses. People who choose his approach can expect clear guidance, attention to values, and a focus on improving daily functioning.
How mindfulness and ACT translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on gentle awareness of thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. It teaches simple practices that help reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and relationship tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions along the way. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and communicating.
Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try out practices, and adjust methods based on what fits a person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether mindfulness, ACT, attachment work, or a mix feels most helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from various locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling around work or family, and use of recorded or guided exercises to practice between sessions. Ask about specific session formats during the initial matching and scheduling steps to find the best fit.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
