    About Dedra

    Dedra Gregory is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings seven years of mental health counseling experience and a background in rehabilitation counseling to her work. She aims to help clients become more able to navigate life and build skills that last beyond therapy.

    Her style is interactive and practical. Sessions focus on self-awareness, choice, problem solving, and setting short- and long-term goals. She encourages clients to set the pace for therapy and works collaboratively to identify steps toward those goals.

    Dedra uses tools drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to address anxiety, depression, stress, and career concerns. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques also appear in her practice to boost motivation and highlight realistic next steps.

    Therapy often includes homework between sessions. Assignments might be journaling, reading, creative expression, or small experiments that test new behaviors. These are intended to reinforce learning and help people practice skills in daily life.

    She has experience working with adolescents and adults and has supported people from varied ethnic backgrounds. Dedra has also worked with clients who have disabilities and with those facing relationship, parenting, family, anger, and addiction-related concerns. Her sessions aim to help people build flexibility so they can adapt when life changes.

  2. How these approaches shape online therapy

    Dedra uses client-centered work to build a trusting conversation where the client's perspective guides each session. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most to them. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change; it focuses on drawing out someone’s own reasons for change and strengthening motivation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize motivational methods, client-centered listening, or cognitive strategies that focus on thoughts and behaviors. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments. Video or phone meetings can reduce travel time and let people meet from convenient locations, while chat sessions can work well for brief check-ins or written reflection. Confirm the current session formats before booking so they match your needs. The focus will remain practical: building skills, setting achievable steps, and using small homework tasks to carry progress into everyday routines.
