About Gary
Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem.
He trained in marriage and family counseling and has worked in community settings and hospital inpatient and outpatient programs. He also completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and later became an LPC in 2005. His background includes long experience providing community-based counseling since the mid-1980s and ongoing doctoral study in pastoral counseling.
In sessions he draws on Client-Centered approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage distressing thoughts and feelings. He also uses Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas to look at personal stories and past influences that shape current behavior.
People who come to him often want direct, practical work on relationship problems, parenting stress, or the effects of loss and trauma. He focuses on clear goals and collaborative discussion rather than long, technical explanations. Expect conversations that connect current struggles with past experiences and aim for steps you can try between meetings.
His experience covers a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and substance use problems. Sessions reflect his personal values while respecting each person’s beliefs and goals.
How sessions work
Approaches used during online sessions
Rev. Gary Greene commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns so they can identify their own solutions; it helps with self-esteem, relationship worries, and parenting stress. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try new responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult life changes. Narrative Therapy helps people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships and find alternative ways to understand those stories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice may shift as issues change or progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time for people who live far from a counselor. Licensed professionals, including this LPC, use these formats in ways that aim to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday schedules.
