Approaches and how online sessions work

Garrett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for managing strong emotions and impulsive reactions, which can help with panic symptoms, mood shifts, and impulsivity.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Garrett talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try, check progress, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy gives flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people have more face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when someone prefers a written format. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and move forward without lengthy commutes.
