Justin Garris, LPC

Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. He uses a practical approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, addiction issues, and life changes. He speaks English and draws on three years of clinical experience to guide conversations and plan next steps.

He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and respond to strong feelings that get in the way of connection and daily functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps the client can try between meetings.

Justin adapts his style to each person. He aims to be respectful, sensitive, and direct. He works with concerns such as depression, anger, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and a range of family-related topics like attachment or blended family issues.

Practical tools, short-term strategies, and communication skills are common parts of his work. He helps people manage symptoms and build routines that reduce stress. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.

Online and text options are part of his practice. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are arranged through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Justin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction. CBT sessions typically include practical exercises and steps to try between meetings to build new habits.

He also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when strong feelings are getting in the way of relationships or daily functioning. EFT helps name emotions, understand how they affect actions, and practice different ways of responding to improve emotional connection and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose methods to try. Changes are checked in regular sessions so the plan can shift if something is not working.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing between-session contact. These options give flexibility for different routines and needs while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
