Rev. Gary Greene

Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. He presents a calm, direct style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. His work is aimed at helping someone who feels overwhelmed find clearer footing and more manageable days.

He brings 18 years of licensed practice in Georgia and decades of community-based counseling experience that stretch back to the 1980s. He completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2001 and later became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005. He is also a doctoral candidate in Pastoral Counseling (all but dissertation).

Sessions center on listening closely, identifying patterns that cause pain, and testing small changes to see what helps. He uses Client-Centered approaches to follow the client’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are woven in to look at personal stories and underlying themes when those are relevant.

He has worked across community settings and in hospital inpatient and outpatient programs, supporting people with trauma, depression, addiction, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and more. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

People find his approach practical and grounded. He honors each person’s beliefs while keeping sessions focused on goals and daily life improvements. He speaks English and works with international clients as noted.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist mirrors concerns and helps people set goals that feel relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe personal stories and separate themselves from painful labels so they can try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and, together with the client, decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered for remote work. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care while living in a different state or country, since he accepts international clients. Ask about current remote options when you schedule to pick what fits your routine.
