About Justin
Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with three years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, depression, and ADHD.
Justin structures sessions around straightforward conversation and practical strategies. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how feelings shape interactions.
In sessions he focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps. That can mean practicing new ways of speaking up, trying behavioral experiments, or planning short routines to reduce overwhelm. He explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is working.
Clients can expect direct feedback and collaborative planning rather than long lectures. Justin pays attention to issues such as attachment, codependency, blended family strain, and adoption or foster care history when they come up. He is prepared to address co-occurring concerns like dissociation, domestic violence, or disruptive mood symptoms.
He accepts appointments through the site's process that uses a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients. To start, complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How CBT and EFT inform online work
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and actions, then try practical changes to reduce anxiety and unhelpful habits. CBT sessions often include specific exercises to practice between meetings, like brief experiments or step-by-step behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at feeling and interaction patterns in close relationships, helping people name emotions and try new ways of relating to reduce conflict and withdrawal.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. Justin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not in the past. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus on thought-based skills, relationship work, or a combination that fits the situation.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as squeezing in a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions that focus on written exercises or talking without video if that makes participation easier. These practical options can help people keep consistent work on anxiety, relationships, and parenting challenges without promising a particular format.
