Rev. Gary Greene

Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of practice who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to make room for steady conversation and practical steps. He works with people facing addiction, depression, or life changes and can support parents coping with the demands of caregiving and blended family situations.

Gary completed a master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2001 and has provided community-based counseling since 1986. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005. He has experience in hospital inpatient and outpatient settings as well as local community programs. He is also a doctoral candidate in Pastoral Counseling (all but dissertation).

In sessions he emphasizes understanding the story behind a person’s thinking and behavior. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and follow each person's goals. He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful patterns, and narrative ideas to reframe painful experiences.

Practical problem-solving features in his approach. That can look like setting small goals, trying new communication skills, or working through steps to reduce crisis reactions. He keeps explanations straightforward and focuses on skills a person can use between meetings.

People looking for support with trauma, parenting strains, addiction, or persistent anger will find a clinician with long experience across community and clinical settings. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's goals. It helps people who need someone to reflect their concerns and help clarify next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive patterns through practice and small changes. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell and reshape the story they tell about themselves, which can ease shame and help with trauma or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as work deepens or immediate needs shift, and the therapist will explain why a given approach is being tried.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that sessions can fit into a busy life. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and keep regular momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively at a distance, and the focus stays on clear goals and usable skills that carry over into day-to-day life.
