About Gary
Gary Reeves is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, mood concerns, and life transitions. He works with individuals and couples and aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard.
Gary uses a collaborative, person-centered style in sessions. He listens for each person’s strengths and builds on them.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with room to process emotion and try small changes between meetings. His background includes work in independent practice, community mental health, and residential settings.
Gary earned a bachelor’s degree from DePaul University, a master’s in Human Resource Management from Loyola University Graduate School of Business, and a master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In therapy he draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and cognitive-behavioral tools when helpful.
He adapts these approaches to the person in front of him rather than following a rigid plan. That makes sessions useful for both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. People come to him for many concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, addiction, sleep problems, career stress, and questions about identity.
He frames progress as small, steady steps and helps people notice shifts as they try different ways of relating and coping.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Gary commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered work to respond to emotional and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on noticing and naming feelings, which can help people improve connection and manage intense emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current bonds and helps people develop healthier ways of seeking support. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem solving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gary treats the choice of methods as collaborative, inviting clients to describe their goals and preferences and adjusting techniques accordingly. He will check in about how methods feel and change course when something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules change.
