Great therapist

Reviewed November 2024

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!

About online counseling

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.

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.

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.

Reviewed September 2023

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.
