Dedra Gregory , LCMHC

Dedra Gregory is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of experience in mental health therapy. She centers her work on helping people become fully functioning in ways that fit their lives, guiding clients to recognize and use strengths they already possess while building new skills. Dedra emphasizes psychological flexibility - the ability to adapt to change - and partners with clients to set clear, achievable goals that shape each session and support lasting progress.

Her style is interactive and grounded in cognitive behavioral principles, with attention to self-awareness, choice, problem solving, and practical skill development. She has experience working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds and addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting, career challenges, addictions, anger, and self-esteem. She also has experience supporting people who live with disabilities.

Sessions commonly include between-session work such as journaling, reading, or creative exercises to extend learning beyond meetings. Dedra invites clients to set the pace of therapy so work proceeds at a comfortable rhythm, and she focuses on teaching tools clients can continue to use after counseling ends. She offers live chat sessions during the day and live video and phone sessions at night, and she is open to flexible scheduling to accommodate client needs.
