About Gary Gabbard
In his practice, Gary has supported individual adults, couples, and teenagers and their families, offering therapy that meets clients where they are while keeping an eye on the relationships and life contexts that shape day-to-day wellbeing. He has also supervised many counseling interns, reflecting a long-standing commitment to developing counseling skills and professional growth within the field.

He works to help clients reconnect with that inner spirit or energy so it can inform their choices and direction in life, supporting a more engaged and passionate approach to living. This same "free spirit" perspective is what inspired the creation and mission of Passionately Ever After Counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Gary Gabbard, LPC, draws from several established therapy styles that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It can be especially helpful when someone wants space to sort through stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and practicing new skills that better align with personal goals. It is often used when clients want practical tools for anxiety, depression, coping habits, or day-to-day overwhelm. Mindfulness Therapy adds strategies for paying attention to the present moment with less reactivity, which can support steadier responses to stress, emotions, and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gary works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent with support even with a busy schedule or changing routines.
