About Garrick
Garrick Lawton, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and low mood. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Garrick highlights strengths and encourages practical action rather than long lectures.
His approach centers on listening and working with each person’s story. Garrick has eight years of clinical experience in Georgia and focuses on common life struggles like anger, self-esteem, and coping with big changes.
Background and approach
He also addresses complex concerns such as attachment issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and patterns linked to avoidant or dependent personalities. He works with people who want to understand how their past shapes their present. In sessions Garrick draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their story.

He supports people who want concrete practices to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, or move through loss. Small, steady changes are the focus rather than quick fixes. People connect with Garrick by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling online or by phone.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapy work online
Garrick combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and retell their story so they can see different options and meanings. This works well for concerns like grief, identity questions, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple skills to handle painful thoughts and stay focused on what matters. It helps with anxiety, addiction cravings, and managing strong emotions by pairing values with small committed actions. Attachment-based ideas guide how relationships and early experiences influence current reactions and how to build safer connections. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Garrick collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and style. He listens to the story first, then suggests practical steps and exercises to try between sessions. Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep progress moving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.Common questions about this listing
