About Justin

Justin Garris is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, life transitions, addictive behaviors, relationship and family concerns, trauma, anger, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He brings a compassionate, respectful stance to each client interaction and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs and circumstances. With three years of clinical experience and a practical focus on concrete coping strategies, Justin emphasizes collaboration and clarity in the therapeutic process.

He addresses a broad range of related issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family tensions, communication and control struggles, codependency, body image, dissociation, and responses to natural or human-caused disaster. Clients can expect a practitioner who values sensitivity and tailors interventions to support meaningful change.

Justin frames the decision to seek help as a courageous step and positions himself as a steady, supportive partner in working toward greater resilience and wellbeing.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and structured, often useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and managing ADHD-related challenges. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and strengthen emotional connection, which can be helpful for relationship and family difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, assess which strategies feel most relevant, and adjust techniques over time so that the approach aligns with each person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules and access support from their own location. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different communication styles, and engage in regular work between sessions while collaborating with a licensed professional.
