Greg Zuk, LICSW

Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and depression. He also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, relationship and family strain, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress. Greg presents a straightforward, practical approach so families can take the next step toward change.

He brings 25 years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That work included hospitals, treatment centers, residential units, and group and individual therapy. Recently he moved much of his practice online to reach more people across West Virginia.

Greg uses clear problem solving as a starting point. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, solution-focused work, family therapy ideas, human development perspectives, and trauma-informed care. Sessions focus on real-life steps and tools you can try between meetings.

Initial visits review where someone has been, where they are now, and where they want to go. From there a personal plan is built with concrete goals. Later sessions move into action steps, working through obstacles and checking progress toward those goals.

He aims for practical support that fits day-to-day life. Conversations tend to be direct, compassionate, and centered on helping people make achievable changes and regain a sense of control.

Therapeutic methods and how they translate online

Greg often uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Those methods focus on short-term skill building and practical exercises that work well over consecutive sessions.

He also uses solution-focused approaches that concentrate on small, achievable goals and steps toward change. This helps when someone wants clear, action-oriented plans for issues like addiction recovery, parenting challenges, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review a person’s goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and provide continuity when meeting in person is difficult. They also let people use short check-ins or regular sessions depending on what fits their schedule and treatment goals.
