Gary Zarchy

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

My philosophy for counseling is that the answers lie in you, the client. My role is to guide, educate, “cheerlead” and advocate. I have over twenty five years of experience working with substance abuse, LGBTQIA, anxiety, depression, trauma, communication issues and relationships. My masters degree is from the University of Phoenix where I also teach in the counseling department for the last eighteen years, in person and and on-line. I utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral, Existential, Choice/Reality theory, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused approach. The greatest joy I get from my work is to see an individual grow and discharge from counseling after achieving their goal. Essentially, my goal is to “put myself out of work” by empowering you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For most common concerns – like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which often makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to maintain consistent progress.

All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical, adaptable way to access skilled therapists for many common mental health and life concerns.
