Dr. G has been such a blessing in my life during one of the most tragic and heartbreaking times in my family. He has helped me find ways to manage my grief, stress, anxiety, and depression and I’m so thankful for the tools I’m gaining. He knows what he is doing and how to deliver his message in a non condescending way and he helps me understand my feelings and emotions. I’m very grateful to BetterHelp but even more so to you Dr. G. You get it!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Therapist G. Is kind, upbeat, and empathetic without being condescending. He's incredibly helpful and I'm grateful to have found him. He's been of great help to me.
Garrick is a kind and incredibly warm soul. He has worked quite effectively to help me start tackling my issues.
I have been taking therapy sessions from Mr. Lawton for some time now, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his kindness and understanding. He truly listens, and his sincerity shines through in every session. What sets him apart is the extra effort he puts in to ensure that I feel supported and cared for. He consistently goes out of his way to help, making me feel heard and valued. If you're looking for a therapist who is both compassionate and genuinely invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Mr. Lawton.
Mr Lawton is down to earth and easy to talk to and understands trauma
An incredibly talented and intelligent man in all facets, with endless wells of knowledge that can help you understand all levels of needs!
I am very grateful to have been connected with Garrick Lawton. He speaks plainly and clearly. It is evident that he cares about me and my path. As a man, it is sometimes difficult to open up about my guarded feelings and issues, but " therapist G" communicates respectfully and earnestly. He is a great asset personally and professionally
Garrick is a great therapist! His attention to detail and depth of understanding have been life changing.
Therapist G has been a God send! He listens - but more important than that is the feedback he gives and the homework. It gets me through to the next terrible step of my nasty divorce. I am not alone on this journey - I have God and Therapist G with me for the ride. Thank you for your strong words of encouragement and enlightenment.
He is very understanding and notices deeper meanings in what I've said that I may not fully comprehend. Through our sessions, I've gained a clearer view of who I am and am a lot more comfortable stepping out into the world.
5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Garrick has been a great resource and help through my journey. He does a great job of combining education, homework, visualizations and though provoking discussion/questions to help get to the root of issues. I appreciate his method of using stoic philosophies which practically help me focus on what I can control and learn to stop wasting energy on that which I can't. He has always seemed genuine, and open about his own struggles which helps build trust and connection.
Happy he was referred to me. Has helped me more than I think he knows. Very grateful for him and his support.
Garrick understands. I almost think he is a psychic. He was able to assess me and get to my core. Very relatable and down to earth. I’ve gotten blessings listening to his expertise
Therapist G has been incredibly helpful thus far and I have appreciated his insight and connection of science behind emotions and feeling. It makes things feel that more manageable. Highly recommend.
Amazing Therapist!
Best therapist in the world!
Garrick is very knowledgeable and listens. I feel comfortable with him after our first session. He is Available if I need him which helps me on this process
I love talking to him and he is very easy to talk to. He makes things very light hearted and it make me very comfortable to open up more and be honest.
Garrick is giving me the confidence that I need to work on a lot of my fundamental issues. I definitely feel very advocated for and I feel like someone is always in my corner. I also feel like he uniquely understands my issues on a personal level which makes me feel like we have a leg up on the task ahead of us. I said we in that previous message to highlight just how not alone in my struggle I now feel.
Doctor G. knows his stuff...made me think and consider other points of view
Therapist G is very understanding of everything. When he says he’s here for you, he really means it. He’s very patient and walks you through all your concerns and issues and helps find a way to cope with them. Highly recommend him…
He is helping me tremendously and I couldn’t be more grateful to Garrick!
Therapist G is a delight to speak to. He's a wonderful listener, and not only has experience working with all kinds of people, but he himself, has a lot of life experience, which makes it easy for him to understand the things that I go through. I feel taken care of. Great guy!
Very open minded and understanding, very adept at counseling.
Mr. G has really been a godsend through a very difficult time in my life. He is extremely compassionate and is very good at getting to the route cause of my issues. I can't recommend him enough.
Garrick is a blessing who helped me understand myself and ways I never knew I can. Thank you Garrick!!
Really has been helpful in many ways throughout my tough time of a divorce. Even though I came into this not expecting much, I'm glad I decided to check out betterhelp and got matched with you. Thank you.
Love my therapist
Goes the extra mile. Not only has he given me ways to face my issues, he has also helped me consider other aspects of my life that suffer due to them, unprompted. Very eager to help and has taught me much along the way already. About myself and even about therapy in general.
He listens to what you say matters most to you, then he offers suggestions that you need to hear and consider. At the end of the day, the choices are your but he's available to offer counter points and outside opinions that sound like their coming from a concerned friend. He is someone who challenges and reminds you to stick with and remember the lessons you learn and gives you the room to come to the conclusion of possible resolutions to your problems. He also provides tools to remind you of your lessons and is willing to go over stuff that you may have forgotten.
Garrick is wonderful and I really appreciate his help!
Therapist G is an excellent therapist and human being! He is a great listener, and always provided many insights into any situation I threw at him. My thoughts and behaviors have drastically improved since I started therapy. Thank you sir!
Excellent Therapist, listens to your concerns and provides rationale for the possible thought processes behind them. He has elucidated a lot regarding my view on the world and helped me be providing the tools I need to make sense of my trauma and how it affects me in the present. I enjoy the activities provided and genuinely feel like I have more insight. I look forward to continuing forward with Garrick.
An absolutely incredible therapist. He’s been through a lot and it shows, but he is always there for you. He teaches you the skills needed to get better for yourself.
Therapist G is super patient, kind, and generous. Before seeing Therapist G I had never seen a therapist so I wasn’t sure what the experience would be like, but I really appreciate how seriously he takes my issues and his thoughtful responses to my questions . I also appreciate that in addition to talking about my daily life, he also makes an effort to include instruction/lessons about CBT so I can learn.
Garrick knew immediately knew what I was going through - Using his guidance and expertise - Let's just say "The family has moved on" - We are HAPPY! I've requested a new session regarding relationship w my son - I have no doubt Garrick can help me
A very understanding, down to earth, professional therapist.
Mr. Lawton is great! He’s able to break down CBT theories and practices in an understandable way and help you make meaningful progress on your mental health journey.
5/5 star therapist. I tried 2 different therapists before him (through a different program than Betterhelp) and he is way better than either of them.
