About Garry

Garry Wiley Jr. is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns.

Background and approach

He helps clients navigate intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and problems with communication, control, and isolation. Garry also addresses issues such as infidelity, hoarding, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and men's issues.

Drawing on a client-centered stance, Garry creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings and build practical skills. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practice, motivational interviewing, and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each client's goals.

With five years of clinical experience and the North Carolina LCSW credential (NC LCSW C015048), he works collaboratively to empower clients to make meaningful changes and cope with life transitions. His approach emphasizes partnership, skill-building, and finding strategies that fit each person's life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Garry combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a client-centered orientation to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping strategies, and practice new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is goal-oriented and often involves concrete skills and homework to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices to help clients build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. DBT skills can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges, while mindfulness supports greater clarity and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Garry works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needed so therapy aligns with the client's needs and life circumstances.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without added travel, and they allow work on practical skills and communication in ways that fit into daily life.
