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 navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Gary works with individuals and couples and aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
He uses an integrative, person-centered style that treats each client as unique. That means sessions focus on the client's goals and strengths rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
He also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and how those early bonds affect current connections. Gary has worked in independent practice, community mental health, and residential settings. This range has given him experience with a wide variety of issues, from everyday stress to more complex challenges such as trauma, addiction, bipolar concerns, and grief.
He aims to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. Education includes a bachelor’s degree from DePaul University, a master’s from Loyola University Graduate School of Business in Human Resource Management, and a master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
He holds an Illinois LCPC and blends practical tools with open, compassionate listening. Sessions typically focus on finding realistic steps forward. Gary helps people build coping skills, improve communication, address attachment and intimacy-related issues, and work through family-of-origin or relationship patterns.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapy translate online
Gary often blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to address relationship patterns and everyday coping. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship styles shape current bonds and helps people notice and change repeating patterns in intimacy and communication. Client-centered work focuses on listening deeply and building on a person’s existing strengths to set goals and guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleeping, and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gary works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He will check in and adjust the plan over time so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day for brief updates and support. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals while fitting therapy into daily life.
