About Nolan
Nolan Garrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. He has worked in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health settings, and in private practice. Nolan helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
He earned a Master of Education from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University, and has been practicing since 1994. He is a member of the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD. He also served as president of a regional counseling association in the past.
Nolan describes common moments that bring people to therapy: sudden spikes of stress, symptoms of depression or anxiety, or relationship conflicts that feel unsolvable. He tells straightforwardly that therapy is work for both the client and the therapist, and that progress happens through practical effort rather than quick fixes.
In sessions he focuses on identifying the behaviors and patterns that make life harder. He talks through problem areas like impulsive actions, anger, destructive behaviors, addictions, unresolved grief, or guilt, and looks for manageable steps forward. He aims to help clients gain clearer self-understanding and steadier day-to-day coping.
For someone worried about frequent anger, snapping at loved ones, or building resentment, Nolan offers steady clinical experience and practical guidance. He encourages taking a first step by using the practice's intake path to set up an initial meeting and see if the approach fits.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on behavior change and coping skills. One common approach works by identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new responses, and practicing small changes that reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for anger, impulsive behavior, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.Another helpful technique emphasizes grief and trauma processing in clear steps. It helps people name difficult experiences, work through emotions at a manageable pace, and develop strategies to reduce the ways past events drive current reactions. This can be useful for trauma, unresolved grief, and long-standing relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and how they like to work. That means adjusting techniques over time and using practical exercises when they fit.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available session types during the intake. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family - for example, shorter check-ins, not needing travel time, or choosing a less bandwidth-heavy option when needed.
