About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and coping after separation or loss.
Garrick approaches sessions with a focus on clear, practical steps. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and to try different ways of responding to old triggers.
His tools come from a mix of evidence-informed methods. Garrick uses cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with painful feelings, and skills-based work to manage intense emotions and impulses. He pays attention to relationship dynamics and attachment patterns that shape how people connect and set boundaries.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Garrick helps people make small, manageable changes - practicing new responses, experimenting with limits, and noticing what shifts. He also supports people dealing with the fallout of addiction or abuse by focusing on safety, coping skills, and rebuilding a sense of control.
He offers services in English and practices in Georgia. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect a person’s values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and living with difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by testing beliefs and practicing different responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and boundaries, and it helps people change long-standing ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will work collaboratively with each person to see which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as progress is made.
