About Gary

Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of counseling experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and addictions. He lists blended family issues among his areas of focus and supports people coping with parenting and intimacy-related concerns.

He trained with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling and has long experience in community-based counseling as well as hospital inpatient and outpatient settings. He later earned licensure as an LPC and has been practicing across a range of care environments since the mid-2000s.

In sessions he uses plain, goal-focused conversation. He often helps people name the problem, test practical changes, and notice patterns that keep creating the same stress. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, and on Client-Centered approaches to follow what matters to the individual.

When trauma or loss is central, he brings Trauma-focused thinking and narrative techniques to help people tell and reorder their experience. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect current relationships and decision-making.

People contacting him can expect direct, straightforward work on specific problems such as co-parenting tensions, merging households, boundaries with ex-partners, communication problems, and managing anger. He acknowledges the role of personal values in counseling while working to honor each person’s goals and beliefs.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect concerns and priorities and help the client set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT is used to notice thinking patterns, try small behavioral changes, and check results between meetings. Narrative Therapy helps people tell the story of their life and separate themselves from difficult events. This can be useful for grief, trauma, and identity questions during virtual work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Many people find remote meetings help them carry new skills into their everyday routine without rearranging the whole day.
