About Garry

Garry Wiley Jr. is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, handle relationship and family concerns, and cope with grief and loss. His work also addresses depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related issues.

Garry uses practical, conversation-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills that people can try between meetings.

In sessions he listens for patterns that make problems worse, like rigid thinking or impulsive reactions. He then suggests specific strategies to test new responses and reduce distress. He also uses aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship skills or emotion regulation are central concerns.

Garry works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, ADHD, coping with life changes, and career questions. He includes coaching-style support when clients want practical steps toward specific goals. He can address fatherhood issues, communication problems, infidelity, and related family topics.

People should expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations and short practice tasks to try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Garry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can clarify goals and priorities.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive responses, which can help with anger, self-harm risks, or difficulty handling crises.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is tracked. Sessions are structured around clear aims and short practice tasks to use between meetings.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to focus on skills practice, problem-solving, and measurable steps toward goals.
