About Gary

Rev. Gary Greene is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. He also works with trauma and intimacy-related issues and supports people facing life changes and caregiver fatigue.

He trained in marriage and family counseling and has provided community-based counseling since the 1980s. Gary has worked in a range of settings including hospital inpatient and outpatient programs. That background means he is used to short-term crisis work and longer-term concerns alike.

In sessions he draws on client-centered approaches to keep conversations focused on what matters to the person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thought and behavior that fuel distress. He also incorporates narrative and psychodynamic ideas when exploring life stories and recurring patterns.

Gary says his main interests are trauma after loss and helping couples navigate crises. He works with individuals on parenting, self-esteem, communication, codependency, and substance-related problems. Practical steps, clear feedback, and straightforward talk are common features of his work.

His style reflects his values and respects each person's beliefs and goals. People who want direct discussion about anger, boundaries, or rebuilding trust may find his approach aligns with their needs.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the sessions about what the person needs. Online sessions can preserve that emphasis by keeping the conversation directed by the client and by using reflective questions to clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. Online work can include simple tools such as thought records, behavior experiments, and homework that people complete between sessions to test new responses to anger and stress.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from recurring stories that cause pain. In online sessions the therapist and client can work through how past events are told and try new ways of describing experiences to reduce shame and blame.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try options, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. That process helps tailor the work without promising a single fixed method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a brief check-in during a lunch break, meetings that avoid travel time, or options that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they address anger and related concerns.
