About Justin
Justin Garris is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. He offers respectful, sensitive support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, addictions, relationship strain, and major life changes. Justin writes treatment plans to match each person's situation and goals.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps. Justin emphasizes clear goals so progress is easy to track.
Justin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people better understand and respond to strong emotions in relationships. Those approaches are used to address issues like attachment, abandonment concerns, and coping after difficult experiences.
He has three years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science and is a licensed professional counselor, LPC. He practices in Mississippi and works in a way that respects each person's values and background. Conversations are tailored to practical needs rather than jargon.
People who reach out can expect clear options and a focus on daily life changes they can try between sessions. Justin encourages questions and the kind of slow, steady work that builds confidence over time.
How CBT and EFT inform online therapy
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical alternatives. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior changes because it breaks problems into clear steps and exercises to practice between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal reactions; it helps people name feelings and respond to them differently when relationships or attachment issues are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide whether CBT, EFT, or a blend makes the most sense, and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people maintain continuity of care through moves or life changes while working on adoption-related and attachment concerns in the same focused way as in-person work.
