Rev. Gary Greene

Rev. Gary Greene offers practical help for people facing work and life transitions. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and career concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make conversations feel constructive and clear.

Gary Greene has worked in community counseling since 1986 and holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in 2005 and is a doctoral candidate in Pastoral Counseling (all but dissertation). His background includes hospital inpatient and outpatient settings and community-based programs.

In sessions he leans toward approaches that clarify patterns and build useful skills. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behavior, Client-Centered techniques to follow the person’s lead, and Narrative Therapy to reread difficult life stories. He also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they fit the work.

People turn to him for help with grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and career-related stress. He also addresses attachment, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Conversations aim to identify next steps and practical coping strategies.

Gary’s style is straightforward and values-driven. He aims to respect each person’s beliefs while helping them move toward clearer goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that suits their timing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rev. Gary Greene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try small changes to reduce distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's priorities so goals emerge from what matters most to them.

Narrative Therapy is another useful option he draws on; it helps people separate themselves from painful stories and reframe life events in ways that support new choices. These approaches can be applied to career stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and work together to choose methods that feel useful. This collaborative planning allows adjustments as work progresses so the sessions stay focused on practical next steps.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time for people juggling work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt the described approaches to an online setting while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable strategies.
