About Garry
Garry Wiley Jr. is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach
He encourages small, manageable changes rather than big, sudden overhauls. Garry uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means he listens closely, reflects what the person says, and helps identify patterns of thought and behavior to adjust.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help with focus, impulsivity, and managing strong emotions. He also draws on skills from dialectical behavior work and relationship-focused approaches when needed. These tools can help with emotional regulation, improving communication, and handling conflict.
When relationship issues come up, he helps people practice clearer conversations and repair steps. Garry has five years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, licensed in North Carolina. He approaches each person with respect and curiosity.
The work is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is reviewed often. People who choose him can expect direct, practical support aimed at day-to-day improvements. He emphasizes doable strategies, steady pacing, and building habits that fit into a person's life.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Garry often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice what they feel and think, and then try different ways of responding. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard, while CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to build more effective habits.He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and impulse control are central concerns. DBT-style skills teach grounding, distress tolerance, and ways to manage intense feelings and impulsive reactions. Together these approaches can help with attention, impulsivity, relationship tensions, and everyday stressors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for short updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
