About Gary
Gary Hecker is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He also works with self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Gary conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.
He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Sessions emphasize understanding current struggles, sorting options, and practicing skills that can be used between meetings. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to shape how sessions proceed.
Gary aims to match the pace and focus to each person’s needs. He listens to what matters most, then prioritizes small, doable steps. That can include changing unhelpful thinking, building coping skills, or improving how someone communicates in relationships.
Over a long career he has worked with many common life challenges, including isolation, forgiveness, and post-traumatic stress. He frames work as problem-solving and skill building rather than abstract theory. Sessions are practical and goal-focused while allowing time to talk through emotions.
For people unsure how to begin, he recommends a brief intake and goal check at the first meeting. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should complete the platform questionnaire and schedule a first session to start.

How his approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In an online setting this approach supports clear, focused conversation about immediate concerns and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then tests small changes. Online sessions can include homework exercises and brief between-session practice to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotion and handling distress. When used remotely, DBT-style skills training can reinforce coping tools and provide concrete steps for tense moments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide how to combine listening, skills work, and practical exercises to fit the person’s needs.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a weekday break, a short check-in, or a longer appointment when needed. It also allows for therapy without travel and supports consistent practice between meetings.
