Greg Zuk, LICSW

Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in West Virginia with 25 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and issues like ADHD and bipolar. Greg aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start making changes right away.

He has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, including hospitals, treatment centers, and residential units, and has provided group, individual, and family therapy. Recently he shifted to offering online sessions to reach more people. His work focuses on clear problem solving and building steps clients can use between sessions.

Greg uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, solution-focused work, family therapy ideas, human development principles, and trauma-informed care. Sessions typically begin with an evaluation, then a shared plan, and then action-focused work to meet goals.

He speaks English and brings long experience to a wide range of concerns, including intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and coaching. People who want practical tools and steady support will find a direct, down-to-earth style.

If you decide to start, you’ll complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with steps you can use between meetings.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Greg uses a few straightforward, evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s goals, offering a listening, respectful space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify priorities. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety and pacing, helping people process past hurts while keeping current coping skills in place.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Greg will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. Expect the plan to shift as progress is made and new needs appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change. A therapist will help tailor session length and focus so the work fits into everyday routines without promising a specific format.
