About Garry
Garry Wiley Jr. is a licensed social worker in North Carolina who helps people facing family and parenting concerns, stress, and anxiety. He supports those dealing with relationships, grief, depression, and addictive behaviors. He focuses on creating a space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings without judgment.
He emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people work toward change. Garry uses straightforward conversation and skills-based work to address everyday problems.
Background and approach
He draws from Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around each person’s goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to manage strong emotions. Sessions are collaborative.
Garry helps people set small, realistic goals and practices techniques between meetings. He often addresses communication breakdowns, control issues, forgiveness, and fatherhood matters with direct, actionable suggestions. With five years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - he brings practical experience in family dynamics and life transitions.
He works with issues such as parenting, intimacy-related problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with change. Garry aims to make therapy manageable for busy lives. He offers multiple formats to fit different routines and prefers to tailor his approach to what each person needs.
For many people, that mix of listening, skills practice, and follow-through helps them move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps make goals clear and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete steps to shift unhelpful patterns. These techniques help with anxiety, depression, and everyday problems that affect family life.Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client figure out together. Garry will ask about goals and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest methods that match those needs. The plan can change over time as needs and priorities evolve, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people talk face-to-face from home, while phone or chat can work around busy days or caregiving duties. Text messaging and live chat provide short check-ins and reminders between sessions, which can make it easier to practice new skills in real life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
