Background and approach
In sessions he focuses on listening carefully to what feels most urgent. He helps people identify problems and set realistic goals. Practical strategies and steady guidance are used to manage mood, anger, impulsive behavior, or relationship conflict.
He describes his role as collaborative rather than fix-it. People are asked to do work between sessions so change can take hold. Progress usually comes from small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.
Garrett is a member of professional groups such as the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD. Past leadership includes a term as president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association, reflecting long involvement in the professional community.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and practical problem solving. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and depression - skills include paced breathing, activity scheduling, and breaking problems into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses impulsive behaviors and anger by improving awareness of triggers and practicing new responses, which helps reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work he does with each person. The therapist and client together review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan stays useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more visual connection for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to schedule sessions and stay consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
