How Garrick’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take actions that align with those values, even when uncomfortable feelings arise. This approach is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and motivation challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and rebuilding routines.
Garrick treats selecting an approach as a team project. He listens to a person’s goals and tries methods that fit those goals. If something isn’t working, he adjusts the plan together with the client. The aim is to find a practical way to move forward rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work through material in depth. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, continued skill practice, and people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or recovery schedules while maintaining steady progress.
