About Garrick
Garrick Lawton is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, and relationship commitment issues.
Garrick describes clients as experts in their own stories and builds on those strengths during sessions. He uses clear, direct conversation and practical tools rather than abstract explanation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps people can try between meetings.
His approach draws on several therapy methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and commit to values-based actions. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now.
Garrick also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep the work person-focused. Together these methods give practical strategies for social anxiety, phobias, and related concerns without relying on a single fixed formula.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Garrick commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still choosing actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and difficulties that come with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach he uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding. CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear skills to reduce worry and avoidant behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Garrick will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the methods used as those factors become clearer. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel practical and relevant.
