He later completed a Master of Education in Counseling and Development and a Master of Business Administration with a specialization in Leadership.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Garrett uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective ways of coping. These cognitive and behavioral strategies help people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias by teaching clearer thinking and problem-solving skills.

He also emphasizes skills-based work that strengthens emotion regulation, impulse control, and communication. This approach helps clients improve relationships, reduce reactivity, and build healthier habits for daily life. Garrett can incorporate values and purpose exploration to help clients clarify direction and make choices that align with what matters most to them.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Garrett works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time so therapy remains practical and focused on meaningful change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, on the go, or between commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
