About Greg
Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in West Virginia with 25 years of clinical experience. He often works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD. Sessions focus on clear problem solving and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
He has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, including hospitals, treatment centers, and residential units. That background means he has experience with individual, group, and family work in those environments. More recently he has moved some of his work online to reach people who need help but find in-person care difficult to access.
Greg favors straightforward approaches. He starts with an initial evaluation to map where a person has been, where they are, and where they want to go. From there he helps build a personal plan with specific goals and steps the client can try between sessions.
His practical toolkit includes common-sense problem solving, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, solution-focused strategies, family therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. These are used to address concrete problems like anger outbursts, workplace frustration, parenting strain, or patterns that keep returning.
Sessions aim to turn insights into action. That can mean practicing new responses, setting boundaries, adjusting daily routines, or testing small changes. Greg frames therapy as a collaborative process where progress comes from steady, specific effort.
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work
Greg uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different responses. CBT is practical and focuses on small behavior and thinking changes that reduce anger and anxiety.He also applies trauma-informed approaches that recognize how past experiences shape current reactions. These methods help people understand triggers and build strategies that reduce reactivity and increase control over responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. The therapist treats the process as a series of experiments - try something, see what helps, and revise the plan.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work is intended to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week, or making scheduling across different locations simpler. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits and to practice new skills in day-to-day settings.
