About Gregory

Gregory "Greg" Dunford brings nearly three decades of counseling and coaching experience and centers his work in a compassionate, client-led approach that combines practical tools with trauma awareness.

Background and approach

Greg emphasizes helping people navigate self-discovery, healing, and growth, using research-informed methods to support emotional regulation, relational repair, and personal integration. He names Internal Family Systems among his approaches and blends it with evidence-based strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

Greg’s practice concentrates on relationship and intimacy challenges, offering guidance on communication, commitment and codependency, sexual shame recovery, faith transitions, and grief. He also addresses a range of focused concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant personality tendencies, body image, and impulsivity, drawing on modalities like ACT, CBT, client-centered work, and attachment-based perspectives.

Based in Utah with an LCMHC credential, Greg emphasizes practical skills alongside reflective exploration to help clients reimagine healthier, sustainable patterns in their lives and relationships.

Online therapy rooted in internal parts and practical strategies



Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a way to understand inner parts and how they interact, helping people notice and relate differently to thoughts, emotions, and impulses to reduce inner conflict and improve self-leadership. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult experiences while building psychological flexibility to respond effectively to stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and helps people develop more supported ways of relating and communicating in close relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods and practices over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats allow ongoing access to therapeutic tools, skills practice, and reflective work from different settings while preserving the same clinical approaches and supportive collaboration as in-person care.
