Garrick Lawton, LPC

Garrick Lawton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. He focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Garrick emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and aims to support people as they take first steps toward change.

He uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs, including approaches that focus on thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with time spent learning new skills and testing small changes between meetings. Garrick talks about strengths and values to guide decisions and healing.

With eight years of experience, Garrick brings experience working with people struggling with addiction, coping with loss, and surviving difficult or abusive experiences. He pays attention to patterns that show up in relationships, such as attachment and communication difficulties, and works to reduce behaviors that cause harm or get in the way of goals.

Garrick describes therapy as a process that needs courage and steady effort. He aims to create clear, realistic steps and to help people notice progress. His motto is "Awareness Creates Change," and he uses that idea to help clients build lasting coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from his Georgia practice. Before booking, confirm the current session options to match your needs and schedule.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed steps in that direction. It helps with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and addiction. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it helps people understand and change repeating relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Garrick will work with each client to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for different check-in styles such as brief updates or longer deep work. It also lets people move between skill practice in daily life and discussion in session, which supports steady progress without requiring a particular in-person schedule.
