Gregory Speed, LCSW

Gregory Speed is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 47 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, career setbacks, depression, and major life changes. He also has a focus on veteran and armed forces issues and has worked with clients affected by combat tours.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversation. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the pace to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and steps that can be used between meetings.

Gregory has long-standing ties to veteran groups and currently serves on the Citizens Veterans Advisory Committee. That background informs his familiarity with military-related concerns and the stresses veterans sometimes report after deployments.

He frames work as a collaborative problem-solving process. He helps identify specific problems, tests simple changes, and tracks results over time. When grief or trauma limit daily functioning, he addresses those effects with interventions aimed at relief and improved coping.

Practical matters such as work, family roles, and financial stress are part of the discussion. Sessions look at how emotional symptoms affect everyday responsibilities and what small adjustments can reduce strain. To begin, he asks a few focused questions and builds a plan you both agree on.
