About Garry
Garry Wiley Jr. is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with five years of experience. He focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, and anger. He also addresses parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent - a recurring outburst, trouble communicating, or stuck feelings after loss. He listens and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior that keep problems cycling.
Garry draws on Client‑Centered methods to follow the client’s lead and build collaboration. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are used to increase awareness and lower reactivity.
When relationship issues come up, Garry uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict habits. He frames work as skill building - clearer requests, steadier responses, and small experiments between sessions. Progress is measured by practical changes in day‑to‑day life rather than labels.
Sessions are conversational and action oriented. People leave with concrete tools to try and simple ways to check what’s working. He offers help for a wide set of concerns including control issues, impulsivity, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and coping with life changes.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means conversations start with the client’s concerns and the therapist reflects back to help sort priorities and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online work with CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and practical homework to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Online DBT material can include brief skills coaching, practice of distress tolerance techniques, and role rehearsal for difficult conversations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit the person’s goals and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and shifting focus as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family obligations, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try new skills in the settings where they actually need them.
