About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. He frames each session around the concerns a person brings and focuses on practical steps to feel better.
Garrick writes plainly and aims to make the first conversations simple and direct for someone who is worried or unsure what to expect. He believes people know a lot about their own lives and brings that perspective into counseling.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focus on building skills to manage strong emotions, handle cravings, and cope with loss or major life changes. Garrick emphasizes small, doable steps rather than big abstract promises. Garrick draws from structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance work to change unhelpful patterns.
He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape thoughts and feelings. Dialectical behavior techniques inform emotion regulation and coping strategies when feelings feel overwhelming. With eight years of experience, Garrick blends a straightforward style with practical tools.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and timing. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire.
Garrick then schedules sessions based on therapist availability and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Garrick uses cognitive behavioral work to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps and skills to practice.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. ACT helps people clarify values and take committed action toward a life they find meaningful while managing difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He checks in and adjusts strategies over time so therapy fits what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions let people practice skills and use visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
