About Gary
Rev. Gary Greene is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. He speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Many clients come to him looking for help after a loss, during a relationship crisis, or when feeling stuck by depression or addiction. Gary has been involved in community-based counseling since 1986 and earned his master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2001.
Background and approach
He became an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in 2005 and brings 18 years counted under that credential to his current work. He has also worked in hospital inpatient and outpatient settings and continues doctoral study in pastoral counseling. In sessions he blends practical problem solving with attentive listening.
He uses approaches such as Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories, Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He explains steps clearly and prefers short-term goals when that fits the person's needs.
Gary often helps people cope with trauma, parenting strain, communication breakdowns, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. He also works with issues like addiction, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He aims to respect each person's beliefs while offering grounded, experience-based guidance.
People who prefer direct language and steady support may find his style helpful. He offers sessions that can match different needs and schedules, and he welcomes people who want to focus on concrete change or deeper understanding.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Gary directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Narrative Therapy helps people name and reshape the stories that guide their choices and feelings. It can be useful for grief, trauma, and identity issues by creating new ways to understand difficult events.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's values and goals. The therapist listens without directing, helping the person find their own answers for relationship struggles, self-esteem, or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and habit patterns such as substance use or unhealthy coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Together they will adjust focus and techniques as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different days and routines. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based formats suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
