Nolan Garrett, LPC

Nolan Garrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. He holds a M.Ed. from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University, and has served in a range of settings from psychiatric hospitals to community mental health centers before establishing his private practice. His background includes membership in the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD - an organization focused on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and he has served as past president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association.

Nolan works with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family discord, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges. He also supports clients dealing with anger, intimacy concerns, parenting difficulties, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and self-esteem issues. He recognizes that symptoms such as low mood, worry, impulsive behaviors, or thoughts of self-harm can make daily life feel overwhelming, and that therapy can be a practical way to regain stability and hope.

His approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere where goals and strategies are openly discussed. Nolan frames therapy as collaborative work that requires effort from both therapist and client, and he emphasizes practical steps that help people become more accepting of themselves and better able to find contentment. He welcomes the first step of reaching out and looks forward to working with clients who are ready to address their concerns.

Evidence-Based Strategies and Online Care

Nolan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and meaningful change. One common strand of his work emphasizes skill-building - teaching strategies for managing anxiety, regulating strong emotions, improving focus, and coping with stress so clients can function better day to day. Another focus is relationship and family-centered work, helping partners and family members improve communication, resolve conflict, and restore harmony through structured conversation and problem-solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Nolan works with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client work together to select techniques that align with the client's needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, schedule sessions around busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, all while focusing on practical outcomes and steady progress.
