About Gary
Gary Hecker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He draws on an array of therapeutic tools to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. His practice also attends to related areas such as forgiveness, feelings of isolation or loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and cultivating self-love.
Gary frames therapy as a collaborative process, aiming to support and empower clients as they take steps toward greater resilience and wellbeing. He encourages those ready for change to reach out and begin a process shaped around their goals and strengths.
Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building
Gary commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and addressing relationship stress. He also integrates client-centered therapy principles that focus on empathetic listening and tailoring sessions to each person's values and goals, creating space for clients to lead the pace and direction of work.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gary will work with clients to assess their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so that treatment feels relevant and manageable for each individual.
Online therapy with him is offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make regular care more convenient for people with busy schedules or who live far from Colorado. These options support flexible scheduling and ongoing access to therapeutic guidance between in-person possibilities, helping clients apply new skills in daily life.
