Gregory Ullstrom, LPC

Gregory Ullstrom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and starts by listening to each person's story. He aims to make the first steps into care feel understandable and manageable.

Gregory uses practical methods to help people handle relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. He emphasizes skills people can try between sessions so progress carries into daily life. He also supports people facing anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and intimacy concerns.

His approach draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build meaningful action. He also integrates client-centered listening and elements of emotionally focused and mindfulness work when they fit a person's needs.

With three years of professional experience, Gregory focuses on working alongside clients rather than directing them. He treats each person as the expert on their life and helps uncover strengths to use during hard moments. He encourages small, concrete steps that add up over time.

People who want straightforward, skills-based help often find this style useful. Gregory offers several ways to connect and supports people exploring concerns like ADHD, trauma, family problems, and identity-related stress. He welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into someone's daily routine.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Gregory commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action, which can be useful for coping with addiction, grief, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gregory will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those needs. He adjusts techniques based on feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and continue work between sessions.
