These varied roles have shaped a pragmatic approach to common problems like panic, mood shifts, and relationship strain.
In sessions he aims to be straightforward and respectful, encouraging honest conversation about what is difficult. He works with practical skills for thinking differently, managing strong emotions, and improving communication. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals and steps to try between meetings.
Outside clinical work he is married with two children and is active in his church, where he serves in leadership roles. He enjoys reading, hunting, and repairing things.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Garrett draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, mood changes, and life direction questions. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; sessions teach specific skills and behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.Another approach emphasizes symptom management for panic and strong emotions, using step-by-step skills to recognize triggers, practice breathing and grounding, and build tolerance for distress. This helps people have fewer intense episodes and feel more able to carry on daily tasks.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to match methods to goals, experiences, and preferences. That process includes checking what’s working and adjusting plans over time so sessions align with what the client needs.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a work break or between commitments. Some formats may use less bandwidth or not require video, which can be useful for shorter check-ins or when a quieter setup is needed.
