About Garry
Garry Wickerd uses clear, practical therapies to help people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Garry is identified as ME Psychologist PS1756 and works from Maine.
He speaks English and Portuguese. Garry emphasizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and make values-based choices. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build different responses.
How Garry works
Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes rather than big, abstract goals. People come to him for help with ADHD, panic attacks, social anxiety, mood disorders, and finding purpose after major changes. He also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability.
The approach is to break concerns into manageable steps and practice new habits between sessions. Garry describes his style as respectful and compassionate. He keeps language plain and action-focused so people can try tools right away.
Over time, the work is meant to reduce distress and increase the kinds of activities that matter to each person. To begin, a short intake and conversation identify goals and the first practical steps. From there he and the person pick techniques that fit daily life and priorities.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on values and thinking
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and finding direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try new behaviors. CBT is often used for panic, social anxiety, mood problems, and managing symptoms of ADHD.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, daily routine, and preferences. They will adjust strategies over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
