About Justin
Justin Garris is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and the disruptions life brings. He aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps clients can use between sessions.
He spends time listening first to understand each person's situation. Then he and the client set realistic goals and pick small actions to try. Sessions are shaped around what works for the person, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Justin uses approaches grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, learning emotion regulation skills, or refining how people connect with important others. These methods are geared toward everyday problems like parenting strain, relationship conflict, addiction struggles, and managing mood shifts.
He has three years of experience in clinical settings and brings a respectful, down-to-earth manner to sessions. He emphasizes sensitivity and clear communication while helping people navigate change. The goal is steady progress through manageable steps.
People who choose to work with Justin typically come wanting practical guidance and a partner in solving current problems. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. He supports clients in making decisions that feel achievable and meaningful.

Approaches and online care for everyday challenges
Justin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves identifying specific thoughts, testing them against reality, and practicing different reactions to reduce distress or impulsive behavior.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address how people experience and respond to emotions in relationships. EFT helps people name feelings, see how those feelings shape interactions, and try new ways of connecting or responding with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during breaks, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging allows shorter or more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep progress consistent while adapting to daily life.
