About Gary

Gary Grant is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with five decades of professional experience. He draws on a long career in education, probation work, and mental health to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and addiction. Gary uses practical, person-focused methods to help people feel more grounded and able to cope.

Over the years he has combined client-centered ideas with cognitive tools and existential perspectives. He also uses hypnotherapy as part of his approach when appropriate.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on building strengths, improving emotional regulation, and working through painful memories or relationship struggles. Gary's background includes many years working with Native American and African heritage communities, and with lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients. He has experience in residential settings supporting adolescents and in clinical work with people affected by severe abuse and PTSD.

That history shapes a practice that attends to cultural context and life experience. His formal training includes a Master of Arts in Education, Psychology, Guidance and Counseling and additional graduate work in clinical psychology. He also completed training in clinical hypnotherapy and group psychotherapy.

Gary has spent recent years leading mindfulness-based group work for people managing depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma-related problems. In sessions he aims to use clear language and simple tools. People can expect a collaborative process that mixes talk, behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and - when useful - hypnotic techniques to support coping and change.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Gary uses hypnotherapy to help people access relaxed focus and work on memories or habits; this can be useful for anxiety, insomnia, and some trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-based work looks at how patterns of relating developed early and helps people change how they connect and set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal style. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and to fit therapy into a busy life.
