About Garrick
Garrick Lawton helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical coping skills for life changes and supports people dealing with relationship and attachment concerns. Garrick uses straightforward talk and a strengths-based view to help people take the next step forward.
He brings eight years of counseling experience as an LPC, licensed professional counselor in Georgia. Garrick centers sessions on what matters most to the client and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
How Garrick works
He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence while guiding people toward clearer choices and healthier patterns. Sessions often mix short-term tools and longer-term work. Garrick may introduce skills from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and emotion regulation techniques to manage anger or anxiety.
He also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. When addictions or trauma are part of the picture, Garrick focuses on safety, stabilization, and practical steps for reducing harm. For grief and loss he helps people make meaning and find day-to-day ways to cope.
His approach stays focused on real problems and real fixes rather than jargon. Garrick accepts personal pay and most in-state insurance. He leads sessions in English and works with people located in Georgia.
Starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counseling and skills work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or uncertainty make life feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete techniques to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. It is useful for symptom-focused work and short-term goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections, helping people understand why they repeat certain cycles in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences. He mixes approaches as needed and adjusts plans based on what is helpful in real sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or more frequent support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family rhythms.
