Dr. Gregory Lantz, LPC

Dr. Gregory Lantz helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. He writes short, practical steps into conversations so parents and adults can try things between sessions. Dr. Lantz emphasizes respect and compassion while focusing on clear goals and small changes. He draws on 17 years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and a PhD in Psychology. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Michigan and works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, and attention difficulties like ADHD. In sessions he uses straightforward approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches tools to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. He also blends mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work when those fit a person's goals. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. Dr. Lantz will help set clear, achievable steps and check progress each visit. He prefers language that people use every day and avoids jargon so it is easier to act on what they discuss. People often come in after a big change - a breakup, a job stress, or feeling isolated - and leave with specific strategies for managing mood, improving focus, or navigating difficult conversations. He invites parents and adults to take manageable steps toward more balance and purpose.

How therapy methods translate online

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include setting clear goals, practicing specific skills, and reviewing homework between meetings to track what helps with anxiety, mood, or focus. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. In an online DBT-informed approach a therapist coaches skill practice, models balanced thinking, and supports better ways to handle conflict and strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused techniques as appropriate. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth, and chat or texting can support quick check-ins and homework reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule, work break, or other routine while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
