About Garrison
Garrison approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings strengths that can be mobilized to address difficult circumstances. He emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify practical steps and build on existing resources to create meaningful change. Seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage, and he aims to provide steady support and encouragement as clients take those first steps toward goals they find important.
His work with individuals includes attention to issues common to men, young adults, veterans and members of the armed forces, and people navigating workplace or seasonal mood concerns. Garrison blends structured, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, strengths-focused stance to help clients move toward greater clarity and functioning.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often including exercises to practice between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is useful for challenges like substance use, addictions, and making meaningful life changes by exploring values and personal goals.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and identifying steps that lead toward them. This approach is action-oriented and often works well for relationship, family, career, and coping-with-change concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Garrison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access regular support around work, family, or geographic limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care and practical tools that fit into a client’s daily life.
