About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Garrick works with men who want to improve wellbeing and handle major life changes with more confidence and clarity.
He centers sessions on the client’s story and strengths. Garrick uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s working and what needs to change. He encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic and lasting.
Garrick draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to shape the work. Those methods are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way for everyone. He emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to handle strong emotions and difficult situations.
With eight years of experience, Garrick combines practical tools and respectful listening. He sees clients in Georgia and communicates in English. His practice supports people coping with relationship fallout, substance-related concerns, dissociation, grief, and other complex stressors.
People are invited to take an active role in therapy, set goals that matter to them, and track small wins along the way. Garrick’s motto is “Awareness Creates Change,” and he uses that idea to guide collaborative, steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action toward values that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, anger, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand and change how they form and maintain connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will help clients choose methods that fit their goals and personality. He treats this as a team effort, adjusting the plan based on what helps the individual make steady progress.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows therapists and clients to use digital tools for between-session practice and skill building, helping the work continue outside the appointment.
