Gregory Speed is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey (NJ LCSW 44SC00188200) with 47 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people navigate trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, manage career-related difficulties, address depression, and adapt to major life changes.
An older, male therapist with a long history of working with Veterans, he serves on the board of a local Veterans group called the Citizens Veterans Advisory Committee and has supported Veterans affected by a number of combat-related tours. His personal connection to military service includes a son who is a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and a combat veteran of multiple tours in Afghanistan.
Gregory approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to meet each individual’s specific needs. He emphasizes empowerment and support, encouraging clients to recognize the courage it takes to seek change and to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their life best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. Online therapy can therefore offer both professional expertise and practical convenience as part of a thoughtful approach to mental health support.
