About Garrick

Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce distress. Garrick emphasizes clients' strengths and works alongside them as they make changes.

Garrick uses everyday language in sessions and centers each conversation on what matters to the client. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for coping and emotion regulation, and attachment-informed work for relationship patterns.

Over eight years of professional experience inform his practice. Garrick describes therapy as a collaborative process where awareness creates change. He encourages small, manageable steps and practices that translate into daily life rather than abstract exercises.

Garrick offers services from Georgia and works with people who want concrete tools for everyday problems. Sessions involve straightforward conversations, skill-building, and goal setting. His approach stresses personal strengths and realistic plans for change.

People who choose Garrick can expect a supportive atmosphere and practical strategies to address anger and other concerns. He uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match the needs and preferences of each person. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to get clear on what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. It can help when feelings like anger or anxiety get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. This is useful for stress, depression, and unhelpful behavior cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. The therapist's approaches translate well to remote work because they emphasize exercises, homework, and skill practice that fit into everyday routines. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits a busy day. Licensed professionals can guide how to use skills between sessions and keep momentum toward chosen goals.
