About Gary
Gary Bray is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes, and he lists young adult issues among his areas of focus.
He frames therapy around the client's own story and strengths. Sessions are conversational and client-centered, with practical steps when needed. He aims to help people build motivation, increase confidence, and find ways to manage mood and difficult transitions.
Gary also brings experience across related concerns such as codependency, commitment and control issues, impulsivity, and problems connected to substance use. He has worked with people dealing with divorce, fatherhood challenges, first responder stress, and the long-term effects of guilt and shame.
His clinical work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and existential approaches. That means he listens for what matters most to the person, looks for patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and helps clients consider values and meaning when choices feel stalled.
Gary offers therapy in English and is available to international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them clarify goals and notice their own strengths. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses concrete steps to change those patterns. It can help with depression, anxiety, and habits tied to addiction by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Existential Therapy invites people to consider values, meaning, and choice when they feel stuck or uncertain. It can support decisions around relationships, work, and identity during early adulthood.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Gary will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide what to try first. The process is collaborative and can shift as goals change over time.
