About Gary

Rev. Gary Greene offers a calm, direct approach for men facing pressure, loss, or relationship strain. He focuses on practical steps people can use every day. He uses straightforward language and aims to help clients feel understood and get unstuck.

He brings 18 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and decades of community counseling experience dating back to 1986. He completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2001 and later became a Georgia LPC in 2005. He is also a doctoral candidate in pastoral counseling (ABD).

Sessions tend to focus on what the client wants to change. He draws on Client-Centered work to make space for each person's goals and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for practical skill-building around mood, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.

Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in when helpful to examine patterns from the past. Solution-Focused methods are used for concrete goal setting and short-term progress. In practice this can mean identifying one small change and tracking how it shifts other parts of life.

Gary has worked in community and hospital settings, with people across many ages and concerns. He helps with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, intimacy issues, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around the person's needs. Online sessions let a therapist follow the client's lead, reflect concerns, and set goals that matter to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills and homework to change thinking and behavior; that work adapts well to remote sessions through guided exercises and short skill practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then choose techniques collaboratively. That makes sessions more tailored and helps clients try approaches that fit their lives.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work when life changes make in-person visits harder, while keeping the focus on practical steps and skills that move things forward.
