About Gregory
Gregory Kaufman is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 11 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those navigating parenting challenges, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Gregory uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on the present moment and on patterns that show up in everyday life. He pays attention to how family of origin and past experiences shape current responses without assuming those patterns are simply good or bad.
His background includes years working with substance abuse recovery, trauma, loss, and life transitions. Gregory combines practical skills like mindfulness and CBT strategies with exploration of attachment and emotional patterns. He may draw on narrative perspectives and personality frameworks such as the Enneagram to help clarify habitual responses.
People meet in straightforward conversation aimed at identifying what is getting in the way and trying new ways of responding. Gregory values direct discussion of feelings and behaviors and works to reduce shame and judgment. He offers sessions in English and Spanish.

How Gregory blends EFT, ACT, and attachment work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and see how those feelings shape interactions and choices. EFT is often used for relationship patterns and for understanding why certain emotional responses repeat.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them and to commit to actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early caregiving and family of origin influences to explain common patterns in adult relationships and stress responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gregory will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment-focused work, CBT techniques, or a combination fits best given their needs and goals. That decision comes out of early sessions and ongoing conversations about what helps.
