Garry Wiley Jr.

Garry Wiley Jr. is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. He also supports those dealing with anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues related to intimacy and isolation. Garry aims to make the first step toward change feel more doable and less overwhelming.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and life events. Sessions focus on clear problem solving and building practical skills people can use between meetings. Garry emphasizes listening first, then offering tools that match each person’s needs.

Garry blends client-centered work with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. He also draws on mindfulness practices and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a concern. These approaches are used to address thinking patterns, emotion regulation, and communication habits.

With five years of practice as an LCSW, Garry brings experience from clinical settings into his work with individuals facing a range of life challenges. He aims to help people regain a sense of control and clearer direction.

People who are curious about coaching-like goals, coping with life transitions, or questions around fatherhood and family roles often find straightforward, goal-focused support. If intellectual disability is part of a person’s situation, Garry includes that context when planning care without making assumptions about needs or outcomes.

How his approaches translate to online work

Garry uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with the person’s goals and priorities and the therapist follows their lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship stress get in the way of everyday life. These approaches are especially useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Garry will talk through what matters most, try tools that fit the person’s needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The choice of methods is collaborative and based on real-life goals.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the original profile does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can focus on progress. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same skill-building work they do in person, adapted to each person’s situation.
