Rev. Gary Greene, LPC

Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. He brings 18 years of licensed practice combined with decades of community counseling to each session. He speaks English and works with clients in Georgia as well as international clients.

He focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that people can use right away. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and build new ways of coping. He uses clear, talk-based methods to address trauma, addictions, parenting strains, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Gary trained at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a master’s degree in marriage and family counseling. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005 and has experience in community, hospital inpatient, and outpatient settings. He is also a doctoral candidate in pastoral counseling (all but dissertation).

His approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and narrative ideas. That means he helps people identify unhelpful thinking, listens closely to their story, and works with each person’s values to set workable goals. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.

People come for help with trauma and loss, relationship crises, parenting pressures, career decisions, and coping with life changes. Gary aims to create straightforward plans and small steps so change feels manageable.

Approach, online care, and what to expect

Rev. Gary Greene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, offering a listening, nonjudgmental stance that lets clients shape goals at their own pace. Narrative Therapy is part of his work too, helping people reframe personal stories and find new meaning after loss or trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each client and adapt methods as the work unfolds. That means you can try steps from different approaches and pick what actually helps you reach your goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on clear steps and progress.
