About Justin
Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He also sees people concerned about relationships, addiction, anger, depression, ADHD, and family of origin issues.
In sessions he uses clear, goal-driven approaches. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to examine how emotions affect close relationships and patterns of closeness and distance.
He helps people name patterns that began in childhood and that still show up now. Conversations focus on practical steps someone can try between sessions. The work often includes noticing triggers, changing small routines, and practicing new ways of talking about feelings.
His style is straightforward and respectful. He adapts the conversation to what a person needs in the moment and to their stated goals. People who want to discuss family history, attachment concerns, or how past roles affect current relationships may find this a good fit.
Sessions emphasize problem solving and clearer emotional expression. Progress is tracked by concrete changes people notice in daily life. To begin, people follow the site's matching and scheduling flow to set up an initial appointment.
How CBT and EFT shape online sessions
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts that increase worry and try small behavior changes to reduce stress. CBT sessions often include clear steps to practice between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or testing a new routine.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns in close relationships. EFT work focuses on identifying feelings that drive distance or conflict and practicing new ways of expressing those feelings to improve connection.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust methods as needed. That conversation helps decide whether more CBT-style skill work or EFT-focused emotional exploration will be emphasized.
