Rev. Gary Greene

Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. He draws on nearly two decades of licensed practice and longer community counseling experience to offer steady, practical support. His style aims to be direct and caring, with an emphasis on listening and clear steps forward.

He completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2001 and became an LPC in 2005. He has worked in community settings and in hospital inpatient and outpatient programs. He has also been a doctoral candidate in Pastoral Counseling and continues to bring a broad view of spiritual and emotional issues to sessions.

Gary often helps people process traumatic loss and guides couples through relationship crises. He also addresses parenting concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, depression, and substance concerns. He frames problems in everyday terms and looks for concrete changes clients can make between sessions.

Therapy sessions rely on what the client needs most. He uses Client-Centered methods that emphasize understanding, and Cognitive Behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Narrative and Psychodynamic ideas are used where it helps to understand a person’s story and past patterns.

His background includes long experience with grief, caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, abandonment, and coping with life changes. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework when helpful, and respect for their beliefs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and honoring their goals. It emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can decide the next steps for themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses clear exercises and practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for making sense of past events and for changing patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different methods translate well to remote care - for example CBT homework and narrative exercises can be done between sessions - and the therapist will help tailor the process to your situation.
