About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He works with individuals who are coping with big life changes and painful losses. Garrick writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He listens first to understand each person's story and priorities. Sessions mix problem-solving with skills practice, and he helps clients notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Garrick encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Clients who want to address relationship patterns or attachment wounds may work on how past experiences shape current reactions. He also uses behavior-focused tools for anxiety and mood problems.
When addictions are present the work balances craving management with rebuilding routines and supports. Garrick draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods. He explains techniques in plain language and shows how to apply them between sessions.
He practices in Georgia as an LPC. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Garrick aims to make therapy a steady, practical part of a person’s life rather than a one-off event.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions aligned with their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It gives concrete tools for day-to-day coping.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 listens to what has worked or not worked in the past and adjusts the plan over time so it fits real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers typing. These options aim to increase flexibility and make attending sessions more manageable for different routines and needs.
