About Justin
Justin Garris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with three years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He also supports those handling addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD.
Justin uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on concrete problems and practical steps rather than abstract theory. He adapts discussion and goals to each person's situation while keeping sessions focused and actionable.
His work includes attention to attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family issues, and communication or commitment problems. He also addresses abandonment, body image, codependency, control issues, and co-morbidity when these come up in session. This helps people manage specific difficulties alongside broader stressors.
Justin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to structure sessions. That means looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and also attending to emotions and relationship patterns that matter in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to build skills and clearer interaction habits.
People who come to him for parenting questions, coping with disasters, or problems linked to domestic violence and dissociation will find focused, practical work. He keeps language direct and avoids technical clutter so the goals of each session are clear. To begin, clients use the site's matching and scheduling steps to set up their first appointment.
How CBT and EFT translate to online sessions
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT work often includes simple exercises between sessions, clear problem lists, and tracking progress over time to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at emotions and connection patterns that affect relationships and parenting. EFT-informed work focuses on recognizing emotional responses and practicing new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase understanding.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaboration shapes whether sessions lean more toward CBT tasks or EFT-style emotional work.
The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into everyday life more easily. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here.
