Gregory Connuck

Gregory Connuck

Therapist

In-person • 17 mi away • Chapel Hill, NC


My name is Greg, and I'm an LCSW and psychoanalytic candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas. Originally from New York, I studied History of the Middle East and North Africa at Oberlin College before moving to Asheville, North Carolina. For several years, I worked doing direct care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as in-home care for older adults in the general population. While caring for my clients in these settings, I became interested in psychoanalysis as a way to more thoroughly understand their experiences. I then attended the Social Work program at Western Carolina University, where I specialized in the treatment of substance use disorders, working at an intensive outpatient program and a state treatment center offering affordable detoxification and acute care. After graduating, I moved to the Triangle to pursue psychoanalytic training, and am now in clinical practice in Chapel Hill.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Carrboro, NC


I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.

I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.

Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cary

Searching for therapists in Cary starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Cary therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Cary offers access to therapists across local areas like Waverly, Preston, White Deer Park, and nearby communities in the Triangle. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.

Therapy in Cary can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage, review estimated costs, and compare virtual or in-person session options. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
