About Nolan
Nolan Garrett is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. He writes and talks plainly, and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or an overwhelmed individual. Nolan earned a Master of Education from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University.
He has worked in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health settings, and in independent practice.
Background and approach
He is a member of the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD, and he once served as president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association. He sees many common struggles including relationship strain, family conflict, parenting pressures, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to attention difficulties or bipolar mood changes.
Nolan describes therapy as collaborative work that can reduce symptoms and help people find clearer paths through difficult times. In sessions he offers a calm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space where concerns are named and practical steps are discussed. He emphasizes honest conversation, setting clear goals, and trying methods that fit a person's life and values.
Nolan encourages people to reach out even when things feel heavy. He views progress as steady effort from both the client and the therapist, and he aims to help people build self-acceptance, better relationships, and more reliable ways to cope with stress and change.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and repairing relationships. Cognitive approaches help people notice and reframe anxious or negative thinking patterns to reduce worry and improve mood. Skills-based methods focus on teaching concrete tools for managing stress, anger, or attention difficulties so daily life feels more manageable.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That shared process aims to match techniques to a person's needs, preferences, and pace rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or on a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
