About Gary

Rev. Gary Greene is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He works from Georgia and communicates in English, and he accepts international clients.

Gary brings a long history of community-based counseling to his work, starting in 1986 and holding a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He became an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in 2005 and has nearly two decades of formal licensed practice experience. He has also worked in hospital inpatient and outpatient settings.

In sessions he leans on client-centered conversations that let the person lead what matters most. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Narrative techniques help people reframe hard stories, and psychodynamic ideas are used when past patterns keep repeating.

Gary often focuses on trauma after loss and relationship crises, and he also helps with parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He is comfortable addressing substance issues, attachment concerns, and the stresses caregivers face.

People can expect direct, respectful talk and practical strategies to try between meetings. His faith background and pastoral training may inform his style, but sessions are shaped around each person’s beliefs and goals.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to figure out what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through stressful events or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems stuck and practices small changes to break those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, substance concerns, and coping with life changes.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from a painful story and try new ways of talking about their lives. That can be useful for grief, trauma after loss, and when past events keep shaping current choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best given goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity during life transitions. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require travel, which helps when someone needs regular support between other responsibilities. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain momentum while managing everyday demands.
