About Gregory

Gregory Ullstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and depression. He also supports clients dealing with grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and life transitions.

Gregory approaches therapy from the idea that each person knows their own story. He centers clients' perspectives and builds on their existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.

He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with intense feelings and patterns that get in the way of connection. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help clients clarify values and commit to workable changes.

In sessions he may combine mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral tools to address anxious thinking and unhelpful habits. Motivational interviewing techniques can be part of work around addictions and behavior change. The overall approach is collaborative and goal-oriented.

Gregory encourages people who are unsure about starting therapy to take the small first step of scheduling a session. He asks questions, listens, and helps people decide what to try next. His practice is based in Wisconsin and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Gregory uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions and interaction patterns that feel stuck. EFT can be useful when feelings are hard to name or when old ways of relating keep repeating.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take actions that matter to them, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's experience and goals. ACT supports work on anxiety and avoidance, while Client-Centered methods emphasize listening and collaboration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adjust pacing and homework to suit a client's day-to-day life and responsibilities.
