About Gregory

Gregory Ullstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He welcomes conversations about relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and trauma. He also supports people dealing with identity questions and career pressures. Gregory writes plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable and less overwhelming.

He frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Gregory uses tools drawn from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes.

His style is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens first, then offers approaches that match a person’s goals. People can expect short, direct feedback and exercises they can use between meetings.

Gregory’s three years of professional practice are focused on helping with life changes, coping skills, and impulsive behaviors tied to substance use. He also addresses compassion fatigue and issues common to first responders. He brings patience and steady attention when topics are painful or confusing.

Practical matters are kept simple. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reactions by focusing on safety, pacing, and practical coping skills. It can be useful when past events keep causing distress in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to act in line with personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person directs the conversation and the therapist follows with empathic listening.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gregory aims to learn about each person’s goals and preferences. He will suggest methods that match those goals and adjust as needed, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to try tools like mindfulness exercises or behavioral experiments between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions, and Gregory will work with a client to find an approach that fits their daily life and goals.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
