More about Gregory

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a psychotherapist licensed in Colorado and life coach with plenty of experience. I have 2 masters degrees in the areas of clinical counseling and school counseling along with extensive additional trainings and education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, marital problems, trauma (both physical and emotional), grief and loss, life changing events like retirement or a new illness. Most importantly, I love what I do. I thrive on building relationships with clients and I sincerely desire for them to reach their therapy goals.

My approach is simple: 1) Develop a team approach, 2) achieve all therapy goals as soon as possible, 3) make certain all accomplishments are permanent. My approach includes solution- focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emdr, and emotion-focused therapy.

What makes me different from other therapists is combining therapy with life coaching, it’s more of a “Less talk. More action." approach. We want results: healing, coping methods, a plan of action, or change. It can be a lot of work, but believe it or not, you won’t regret it and you might even enjoy the journey.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed August 2022

I was skeptical in joining BetterHelp. Soon, however, I discovered that Greg Sims is the perfect fit for me. As a healthcare professional myself, I. eschew those therapists who feel that a non-emotive face... some would say stern... is the sine qua non of a professional therapy, a significantly outdated concept.. Greg is just the opposite and his feedback, both verbal and not, is right on target. I am a huge fan and advocate of Better Help.

I am grateful that he sees what makes me tick. He has supported me and gave me the tools to find out what I could not see on my own. I have done a lot of work in a short time, and Gregory listens to me and helps me move over every bump I think is a mountain. I look forward to our sessions to find out what I am missing and can do to keep working and keep moving forward. Thank you Gregory for everything!

Dr. Sims listens to understand, not to reply. He is very knowledgeable in many areas, which makes him a great Dr. for many different types of issues.

Greg is awesome! He listens, he’s on time, he has good suggestions etc. I enjoy working with him and I came back to him after experimenting with a few other therapists.

Greg has been an excellent therapist in a very hard time in my life. He challenges me in ways I need while at the same time allowing me to really observe my own patterns that have kept me stuck. He's been a life saver!

Reviewed July 2023

There is a great and heightened debate of late about the value of "talk therapy". Where there is concurrence is that to be successful, there must be a great relationship between client and therapist. With Greg, that's easy to accomplish. I am truly blessed to be working with him.

Greg has been such an important part of my life over the last few months. I'm not sure how I could've gotten through some of the struggles I've been dealing with had it not been for him. He's kind, understanding, encouraging, and incredibly supportive. It took a little work to find the right therapist when I first signed up for Betterhelp, but once I connected with Greg, I knew I had made the right choice.

Reviewed August 2022

I appreciate that he is great at leading conversations. It doesn't feel awkward talking to him like it can with other professionals. It also felt like he did a great job at listening to me.
