About Garret
Dr. Garret Carlisle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia. He combines thoughtful inquiry with steady guidance to help people navigate relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and questions about identity and purpose.
He draws on existential, narrative, and psychodynamic approaches to look beneath surface problems. That means talking about values, life stories, and the patterns that shape feelings and choices. Sessions focus on making sense of inner experience so change can come from the inside out.
How Garret works
Common topics include self-esteem, coping with life changes, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses specific concerns such as emptiness, fatherhood issues, infidelity, men’s issues, sexual dysfunction, and questions about sexuality. The work is conversational and reflective, mixing insight with practical steps for daily life.
Dr. Carlisle has 12 years of clinical experience helping people untangle persistent patterns and rebuild confidence in relationships. He offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
He explains licensure as GA LMFT, which reflects his credential in Georgia. To begin, a prospective client completes a short questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary depending on location and scheduling choices.

Online support options
Approach and online options for relationship and identity work
Existential Therapy helps people face core questions about meaning, freedom, and responsibility. It looks at values and life choices and is useful for concerns about purpose, emptiness, and major life changes.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It separates problems from the person and rewrites unhelpful narratives, which can help with identity, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.
Psychodynamic Therapy examines recurring emotional patterns that come from past experiences. It can shed light on why certain intimacy or trust issues keep repeating and help people change long-standing responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps the client move forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or on-screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflection between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain regular contact as progress continues.
