Greg Zuk, LICSW

Greg Zuk is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and family concerns. He also supports those facing grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life transitions.

His style is direct and practical. He begins with an evaluation to learn where a person has been and where they want to go. From there he and the client build a clear plan with concrete goals. Sessions move toward real steps and measurable changes rather than vague talk.

Greg has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, hospitals, treatment centers, and residential units. He has provided individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy across those settings. He moved much of his practice online to reach more people in West Virginia.

He favors common-sense problem solving and uses several established approaches to fit each person’s needs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, family therapy, and trauma-informed care. He combines techniques to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

During early sessions he focuses on assessment and goal-setting. Later sessions emphasize action steps, skill practice, and problem solving. People who want straightforward guidance and a plan for change will find a pragmatic approach in his work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Greg commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and addiction-related behaviors.

He also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and building a trusting working relationship. This approach helps people feel heard while they sort out goals and decide on change. Additionally, trauma-informed methods are part of his work to recognize how past harm affects current reactions and day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try approaches, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue therapy while living in different parts of West Virginia or when attending to work and family responsibilities.
