I finished my Master in Counseling degree in 1997. I opened my own practice, Passionately Ever after Counseling, in 1999 in Collin County, Texas. As I grew my practice I did contract work with major outplacement firms, an alcohol treatment center and a methadone clinic. In my private practice, I have worked with individual adults, couples and teenagers and/or their families. In addition, I have supervised many counseling interns.
Through my own individual counseling and training, I have mastered the art of helping clients identify, respect and honor their free child, viewed as the soul and essence of who they really are. Allowing that "spirit" or "energy" to inspire their life and choices will transform their life into an exciting and passionate adventure. It is this "free spirit" in me that led to the genesis of Passionately Ever After Counseling.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Blended family issues, Codependency, Dissociation, Divorce and separation, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gary Gabbard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Gary is a very easy person to open up to. He’s a great listener and gives you small activities to do outside of therapy to build on to what you discussed.

I am just going to be blunt with this. Gary is an amazing person to talk to, he makes you think, and challenges you. That is the therapist i didn’t know i needed. There was a time that what he was saying really started to piss me off, but that’s why i came here. To work on myself, and find ways to understand what is going on. You have to be ready and willing to work on yourself. And Gary, is definitely the man that will guide you on that journey. He has outstanding knowledge, extraordinary tactics, that will push you to think. The non judgmental atmosphere helps you express your honest self, your true self, and allows you to set the foundation you would like to build on. I would say, Gary is will give you ways to grow, tell you how it is, as long as you’re ready to accept it. God blessed me with Gary. God bless you.

Gary is smart and helpful. I really enjoy our time together and feel better afterwards. He helps me see things differently and offers other views I hadn’t considered thereby increasing my ability to cope instead of staying in my stuck thinking. It’s refreshing and helpful.

Mr. Gabbard is helping me and that is all that matters—giving me new perspectives and tools to help me understand and navigate my issues. I’ve only had a few sessions with him, so I need more time; but I am pleased and grateful for his services.

So far ive only had a few sessions with Gary but i feel like he sees the bigger picture of what we discuss. Hes already given me a few things that help alot and im excited to see what future sessions hold. I'm just all around greatful that he takes the moment and digs a little deeper. It helps to have someone listen and actually give thoughtful responses. Very respectful and non judgemental. He's appreciated.

I was not sure how much I would get out of counseling online but I have actually gotten more understanding and coping mechanisms from my online counseling that I have from counseling face-to-face. Being able to essentially text your counselor and what I would call “the sky is falling moments “ is really amazing. I texted Gary one time at like four in the morning, I had been up all night crying from some events and he got back to me at like 5:30 in the morning And made room for me in boomed morning that same day. I know that I have Had a series of traumatic events happened all within a few months span and I anticipate I will benefit greatly from some long-term counseling. Gary is Incredibly insightful and compassionate and understanding I look forward to my future self growth with his help.
