Garry Wiley Jr., LCSW

Garry Wiley Jr. is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, grief, depression, addictions, and trauma and abuse. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supportive. He describes therapy as a space for honest conversation without judgment.

Garry uses plain, practical talk in sessions. He focuses on making clients feel understood while identifying steps they can try between meetings. The work often involves noticing unhelpful patterns, trying new ways to respond, and building everyday routines that feel more workable.

He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s goals central. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotions need steadying. Mindfulness techniques and relationship tools from the Gottman Method can appear where they fit the client's goals.

Garry’s profile records five years of professional experience in mental health. His LCSW credential is with the state of North Carolina. He aims to support people who want clearer communication, less reactivity, and more meaning in their day-to-day lives.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical change. Clients work with him to set small, reachable goals and to build skills for handling triggers, relationship strains, or major life changes. He encourages follow-through and checks progress each week.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so they set the goals. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on asking clear questions and reflecting what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then propose approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online or in-person options are currently offered before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, making it simpler to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer in-person meetings; the therapist will discuss what format best supports the client’s goals.
