About Gary
Rev. Gary Greene helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. He brings a calm presence and straightforward guidance for everyday struggles.
He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. With 18 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, he draws on long experience in community and clinical settings. Gary has worked in hospital inpatient and outpatient programs and community counseling since the 1980s.
Background and approach
His background includes a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and ongoing doctoral study in pastoral counseling. In sessions he listens first, then helps people name what is most urgent. He often uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and narrative ideas to make sense of difficult events.
Conversations tend to be practical and goal-focused while still holding emotional concerns. He has spent much of his work attending to trauma, grief, and relationship crises. He also supports people coping with addiction, anger, self-esteem struggles, life changes, and caregiver stress.
Parenting is a documented focus, so he commonly helps parents manage stress and handle family tensions. Gary aims to respect each person’s values and goals while offering clear suggestions. Sessions are meant to feel collaborative and direct, with steps a client can try between meetings.

Approaches that guide online parenting and trauma work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client, offers empathic listening, and helps people find their own solutions; this approach can be useful for parenting stress and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use clear, practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend one or a blend of methods based on what the client needs. This collaborative planning helps shape a focused plan and makes it easier to try concrete steps between meetings. Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions.Questions people ask about Gary
