About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Garrick writes that he helps clients cope with these concerns and supports work on specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and communication problems.
Garrick uses several practical approaches in sessions. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and relationship patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are described in straightforward terms: talking through problems, noticing patterns, and practicing small changes between meetings.
His style emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their life story and strengths. Garrick invites people to name what matters and to take steps that align with those values. He frames change as a series of manageable actions rather than a single event.
Garrick accepts private pay and works with many in-state insurance plans. He runs Lawton Counseling and Addiction Services, Inc. and organizes care around the issues listed above. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.
To begin, the first step is to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. This helps make a clear plan for what to work on and which approaches to use.
How Garrick blends therapy approaches for online work
Garrick uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name hard-to-reach emotions and to notice patterns in how they relate to others. EFT is often used when emotions and attachment needs shape recurring problems in relationships or personal reactions.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that get in the way of daily goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and new issues arise.
The practical details of online sessions should be confirmed before booking. The site’s process asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between commitments. Confirm the exact session formats offered when you book so you know what to expect.
