Gary Bray

Gary Bray

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing your mental health is one of the most important steps toward building a stable, meaningful, and fulfilling life. Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin that process. I have been practicing for over 26 years, with the past decade focused on helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and anger management concerns.

Many of the clients I work with experience chronic stress, difficulty managing emotions, communication struggles, or patterns in relationships that leave them feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or disconnected. I work with clients ages 15–65 and support individuals who may be dealing with persistent worry, low mood, irritability, family conflict, life transitions, or difficulty coping with everyday pressures. My goal is to help you gain insight into your experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways to manage challenges so you can move forward with greater confidence and balance.
