Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon, LMFT

Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in North Carolina and brings a calm, approachable presence to sessions. She speaks English, Armenian, and Persian and has worked with many cultural backgrounds. Her work focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify steps they can take. She aims to honor each person's story and build on their strengths. She combines several therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that can change behavior. Client-centered principles guide sessions so people feel heard and understood as they set goals. Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon also draws on Jungian and existential perspectives when clients want to consider meaning, identity, and deeper life questions. Hypnotherapy is another tool she can use for targeted issues in collaboration with the client. The choice of methods depends on the problem and the person's preferences. Her background includes substantial experience with survivors and people affected by domestic and sexual abuse, as well as work around high-conflict relationships and childhood trauma. She describes herself as empathic, nonjudgmental, and warm, and aims to walk alongside people as they work through change.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set their own goals so work moves at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and often includes simple exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then recommend options. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively how to combine methods like client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques for a tailored plan.
