About Gregory
Gregory "Greg" Dunford is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. He brings 28 years of counseling and coaching experience and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and life transitions. Greg aims to meet each person where they are and guide them toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.
Greg’s practice centers on a client-centered approach that keeps the person's experience and goals in focus. He also draws on practical methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based ideas to tailor work to a person’s needs. Sessions often include skills practice, values clarification, and learning new ways to relate to self and others.
Over nearly three decades Greg has worked in many settings, including schools, residential programs, addiction groups, and private counseling. He has supported people coping with grief, addiction, faith transitions, mixed-faith relationships, sexual shame recovery, and parenting challenges. His background as a teacher, ranch director, and group leader informs a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
Greg describes his work as collaborative and practical. He helps people to re-imagine relationships, set boundaries, and develop emotional regulation tools. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, body image, and impulsivity.
Outside of counseling Greg enjoys outdoor activities and family life. His varied life experiences shape an empathetic perspective that he brings to sessions and to helping people find steady ways forward.
How Greg’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Greg integrates client-centered care with acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, understanding the person’s goals, and shaping sessions around their needs. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and help people form more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Greg will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit best for a person’s goals, values, and day-to-day life. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and he checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find skills practice, values work, and relationship conversations translate well to remote sessions, while some prefer an in-person setting for certain types of exploration. Discussing what will work logistically and therapeutically is part of the first meetings.
