About Justin
Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with three years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, life changes, and substance-related concerns. He also helps people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD.
Justin uses conversation and practical strategies to address day-to-day problems. He adapts the way he talks and plans work so it fits what a person needs. That can mean breaking problems into small steps, trying new ways of thinking, or focusing on feelings that keep showing up in relationships.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions that focus on what to try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that keep problems going. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how emotions and connection affect relationships.
Justin has worked with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, body image, codependency, and communication problems. He also has experience with domestic violence, dissociation, and disruptive mood challenges. He aims to help people build clearer boundaries and better coping skills.
His approach is practical and respectful. He asks questions, listens to what matters most, and outlines steps people can take. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT sessions often include small exercises, homework, and clear steps to test new ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and improve coping.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how emotions shape connection and reactions in relationships. EFT-style work focuses on naming core feelings and practicing new responses so interactions feel less reactive and more understandable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then recommend methods to try and revisit those choices as needed. Clients and therapist decide together what to focus on each week.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Justin aims to adapt methods like CBT exercises and emotion-focused conversations to an online setting so they fit into everyday life without requiring extra time.
