About Garry
Garry Wiley Jr. is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of practice. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, and other life changes. Garry also works with issues such as parenting, addiction, intimacy-related concerns, and anger.
He keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Conversations are direct and practical. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and then tries options that change day-to-day life.
Garry uses several approaches to guide work in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy helps people lead the talk and set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and finds steps to shift them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings.
He also draws from Gottman Method ideas for relationship communication and from Mindfulness Therapy to develop present-moment awareness. Those methods are used to address practical concerns like communication problems, control issues, fatherhood matters, and forgiveness.
In a first session Garry typically asks what feels most urgent and what small changes a person would like to try. He and the client set simple goals and track what helps. Work can include short skills practice, communication patterns, or planning steps for parenting and career concerns.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Garry often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on letting the person set the pace and topics for sessions. This approach supports adults who need time to talk through family tensions or parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and turns them into specific tasks and experiments to try between sessions. That helps with anxiety, mood, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers short skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication; these skills are useful when feelings run high or when managing impulsivity.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Garry will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences. He collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress or challenges appear, so the approach can change over time.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work obligations, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use focused skills practice, communication coaching, and goal-oriented CBT exercises that translate well to remote appointments.
