How Gary works
He has worked in a range of settings including hospital inpatient and outpatient care and community programs. Sessions tend to be direct and person-focused. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and help clients set goals that matter to them.
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful experiences. Common concerns addressed include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients identify their own goals and values; it can be helpful for people needing emotional support and clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change behaviors that cause distress. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by retelling and reframing life events to reduce shame and open new possibilities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
