About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. He works with adults who are trying to regain balance after difficult events and wants therapy to feel practical and respectful. Garrick emphasizes a straightforward, strengths-based approach that centers the client's experience.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift emotional patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to be collaborative and solution-focused, with clear steps to try between appointments. Garrick treats a wide range of concerns including anger, low self-esteem, relationship communication problems, and challenges after separation or loss.
He also supports people coping with body image struggles, codependency, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and responses to disaster. He brings eight years of clinical experience to these issues. Clients can expect a therapist who listens, helps name patterns, and practices new ways of responding to emotional pain.
Garrick believes people already have strengths to build on, and he works to make those strengths useful in daily life. His style is direct and empathetic. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The practice accepts personal pay and many in-state insurance plans, and sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and reshaping emotional responses in the moment, helping people notice patterns and form new ways of relating to their feelings. It can help when intense emotions get in the way of daily life or decision making.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when people want clearer direction despite uncomfortable feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current behavior and relationships, and it helps people understand patterns like avoidance or codependency so they can try different responses in relationships and self-care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions allow for regular contact without travel. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and work well when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexibility to match scheduling and communication style.
