About Greg
Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in West Virginia with 25 years of experience. He focuses on practical, doable steps for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, and related challenges. His style is straightforward and goal-oriented.
He speaks English and offers online options to reach more people. Greg draws on work in hospitals, treatment centers, and residential units. He has provided group, individual, and family therapy in those settings.
Background and approach
He uses common-sense problem solving first, then blends techniques to fit each person’s needs. Sessions move from assessment to a personal plan and then action steps aimed at clear goals. He earned a master’s degree in mental health from West Virginia University in 1991.
That academic foundation underpins decades of clinical work with adults and children in many settings. His long experience includes helping people with addictions, bipolar disorder, trauma, and parenting challenges. In session Greg may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, solution-focused work, family therapy ideas, human development principles, and trauma-informed approaches.
He emphasizes practical tools you can try between meetings and reviews progress regularly. The approach is collaborative and adjusts as circumstances change. People who choose him can expect an initial evaluation to map goals, a tailored treatment plan, and an action phase focused on steps toward change.
He aims to help people regain direction and handle life’s stresses with clearer strategies.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Greg often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.He also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to set goals. This approach helps people feel heard while deciding what changes matter most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Greg collaborates with each person to pick and adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. He starts with an evaluation, makes a personal plan, and revisits methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, and messaging works for shorter check-ins or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people maintain steady progress around work and family commitments.
