About Garry
Garry Wiley Jr. is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family problems, and anger. He also works with concerns such as parenting, intimacy, ADHD, career questions, and issues with self‑esteem.
Garry focuses on practical conversation and steady problem solving. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening and figure out small, doable steps. He uses straightforward tools from well known approaches to help people notice patterns, practice new skills, and manage strong feelings.
He draws on Client‑Centered Therapy to keep the person's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behavior experiments. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy are often introduced to build emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.
The Gottman Method is used when relationship communication and conflict are a focus. Garry mixes these methods in ways that suit the concern at hand and the person's goals. He explains options and helps pick what to try first.
Sessions aim to be practical and direct. People leave with clear steps to practice between meetings. To begin, he asks a few questions to match goals and then schedules the first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns so they set the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a clear, person-led conversation about anger, relationships, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find patterns that maintain stress or anger. It includes simple experiments and homework to try different ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation and tolerating strong moments without acting on them in unhelpful ways.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to try first. That collaboration helps tailor tools to the situation rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow for shorter check‑in meetings if needed, or remove travel time between commitments. The emphasis is on making sessions practical and workable within a person’s daily routine, while adapting exercises and skill practice to an online setting.
