About Gary
Rev. Gary Greene greets people who are overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or navigating big life changes. He writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what someone is facing.
He aims to help people find clearer thinking and practical steps forward, one conversation at a time. He has worked in community counseling since 1986 and became a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in 2005. He completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2001 and is a doctoral candidate in Pastoral Counseling.
Background and approach
That background means he has long experience in many settings, including hospital inpatient and outpatient care. In sessions he focuses on everyday problems like stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, depression, and addiction. He also addresses things such as abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping after disasters.
He keeps language simple and practical while adjusting to each person’s needs. His style blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools and narrative and psychodynamic ideas when they fit. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, reframe difficult thoughts, and try small changes that make life feel more manageable.
People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation, respect for personal beliefs, and collaborative goal-setting. He works with English-speaking clients in Georgia and with international clients by online formats.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client’s lead. In this style the therapist reflects what someone says, helps clarify feelings, and supports the person’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that reduce distress. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills and experiments to test new ways of thinking.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend starting steps. Over time they may adjust methods based on what is most helpful for the client’s situation and progress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, try quick coping ideas, or fit a therapy moment into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while working around schedules and location.
