About Garrett
Garrett Craver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, career concerns, guilt, and shame. He also addresses panic symptoms, mood changes, impulsivity, and workplace or social isolation issues.
Garrett describes his work as practical and focused on helping people understand their emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. He listens for recurring behaviors and thinking styles, then helps clients try different ways of coping and relating. Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, aimed at clearer thinking and more manageable reactions.
His background spans outpatient mental health, crisis services, case management, psychiatric services, and hospital-based behavioral health care. Garrett holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Education in Counseling and Development, and an MBA with a specialization in Leadership. That mix of clinical and leadership experience shapes how he structures treatment and communicates options.
Garrett can bring a Christian-informed perspective into sessions when clients want it, and he respects each person’s beliefs and experiences. He emphasizes honest, direct conversations about what’s getting in the way of feeling better and practical steps to try.
Outside of counseling he is married with two children and is active in his church as a Deacon and Associate Youth Minister. He also enjoys reading, hunting, and fixing things.
How Garrett uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Garrett describes his work as practical and evidence-based. One approach he commonly applies is cognitive work that helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns. This involves identifying beliefs that fuel guilt or shame and testing them with new ways of thinking to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Another common strand is skills-focused coping work aimed at mood and anxiety symptoms. That means teaching breathing or grounding techniques for panic, and behavioral steps to reduce avoidance in social anxiety or isolation. These techniques are concrete and often practiced between sessions to build confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Garrett will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He frames this as a collaborative process, with trial and adjustment rather than a single fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in appointments when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to maintain momentum between in-person visits and to practice new skills in everyday contexts.
