About Gregory
Gregory Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 11 years of experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and LGBT concerns. He also works with issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, anger, career stress, and communication problems.
Gregory uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. His toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method for relationships, and Motivational Interviewing. He applies these methods to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and work through past hurts.
His background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University Dominguez Hills and a master’s in psychology from Brandman University with an emphasis in Marriage and Family and Professional Clinical Counseling. He has over a decade of experience in mental health settings and has worked with people recovering from substance use with co-occurring disorders.
Gregory has also spent time working with older adults and with LGBTQ populations. He completed a County of Riverside certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Late Life Depression. Those experiences inform how he structures sessions and chooses interventions.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills and honest conversation. Expect a mix of short-term problem-focused work and deeper processing when needed. People who want clear strategies for coping, better communication, or help moving past trauma may find this approach useful.

How his approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through behavioral experiments and skill practice. It is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessions, and many everyday struggles. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense emotions and relationship conflict. EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge, often used for trauma and abuse.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend a mix of methods. That recommendation is adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels workable for the client.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. A therapist can suggest whether a skills-focused CBT check-in, longer trauma processing session, or a relationship-focused meeting using Gottman techniques best fits your needs.
