About Gary

Gary Grant is an LMHC with five decades of experience combining education, probation work, and clinical practice to support people facing a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on a client-centered foundation and an integrative perspective to help clients build resilience and recover strength after stress, trauma, mood struggles, relationship difficulties, and attention-related concerns including ADHD.

Gary’s background includes training in hypnotherapy and work with mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, which he blends with evidence-informed methods to address anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and other life changes.

His practice reflects cross-cultural awareness shaped by long-term work with Native American and Alaskan Native communities and with LGBTQ clients, as well as extensive experience in residential and group therapy settings.

Gary’s approach emphasizes clients’ strengths and aims to foster practical coping skills for issues such as sleep and eating problems, anger, career stress, and chronic medical or pain-related challenges. He is licensed in Washington State as an LMHC and offers support grounded in many years of direct clinical work and teaching roles.

Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy Options



Gary uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people explore personal values, improve self-understanding, and build on existing strengths. He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with practical skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Additionally, he incorporates attachment-based ideas to examine relational patterns and support healthier connection and emotional regulation when relationship or intimacy issues are a concern.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is seen as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adapt plans over time, combining techniques from multiple approaches when that best serves the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Gary is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what fits their schedules and communication style. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on coping skills, mood management, trauma recovery, or attention-related concerns.
