About Justin
Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. He aims to make therapy a straightforward process for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
He uses clear conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around real-life goals like managing stress, reducing anxiety, or handling parenting challenges. He also helps with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD-related struggles.
Justin describes steps and tools in plain language so clients can try them between meetings. He draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help change patterns of thought and to improve emotional connection. Those methods are used to address things like communication problems, attachment issues, codependency, and body image concerns.
With three years of experience holding the LPC credential, he works to tailor the sessions to each person's situation. He welcomes honest talk about setbacks and progress, and adjusts plans as needs change. The focus is on building practical skills that fit into everyday life.
Therapy begins with a short conversation to see what a person wants to work on and how to get there. People who are ready to start will be guided through a brief matching process and scheduling steps to connect with him.
How CBT and EFT inform online work
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can ease anxiety and depression. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and make sense of strong feelings and to practice clearer emotional communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to figure out which method or mix of methods fits best. Goals, preferences, and how someone responds to early sessions guide the plan going forward.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It may also let someone have a shorter check-in or use audio only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing to practical needs so therapy fits into everyday life rather than forcing major schedule changes.
