I'm Greg Dams, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Roanoke, Virginia, offering statewide telehealth services. Specializing in anxiety, OCD, and depression, I use evidence-based therapies like CBT to help adults and older adolescents achieve their goals, fostering a positive outlook on life through warm, client-centered care.
My approach
I employ a structured approach to therapy, primarily using evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). These treatments have consistently shown remarkable effectiveness in improving clients' well-being and functioning.
My focus
I typically work with adults experiencing anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive and related conditions, depression, and PTSD.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, direct, and caring. I create a safe and empathetic environment for clients, so they feel genuinely understood and supported. Working with me is characterized by a sense of trust and the knowledge that I'm dedicated to your well-being.
My goals for you
I use a structured and collaborative approach to goal setting. Together with my clients, I identify specific, achievable goals tailored to their needs and concerns. These goals are typically aligned with improving their mental health and well-being. The evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), help guide clients toward these objectives, ensuring a clear path to a more positive outlook on life.
My first session with you
In my first sessions with clients, I create a welcoming and empathetic environment. I start by actively listening to their concerns and experiences, encouraging them to open up. Together, we delve into their goals and what they hope to achieve through therapy. Through collaborative discussion, I help clients make sense of their experiences. Additionally, I empower clients by sharing an overview of multiple evidence-based treatment options, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and others, giving them the autonomy to decide the treatment that aligns best with their unique needs and preferences. This approach sets the stage for a supportive therapeutic journey towards a brighter future.
