Gregory Egan, AASW

Gregory Egan is a registered social worker based in Australia who brings a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy. He holds AASW membership - a credential that identifies him with the Australian Association of Social Workers - and draws on eleven years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career challenges, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and a wide range of other life issues. Gregory emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own stories and works with each person to build on existing strengths while introducing practical skills to improve everyday functioning and wellbeing.

He combines evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring techniques to individual needs rather than adhering to a single formula. Gregory values ongoing professional growth and reflective practice, and welcomes feedback to adapt his style and interventions so they fit each client’s preferences and goals. He offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, aiming to make support accessible for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges by teaching practical skills to stay engaged with valued life directions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own perspective guides change; it supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and navigating difficult life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thinking and behavior and offers structured strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other common concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gregory, as a licensed professional, works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from home or elsewhere, while still working with a trained therapist to address personal goals.
