About Garret

Dr. Garret Carlisle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and career stress.

He also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, fatherhood concerns, sexual function and sexuality, infidelity, emptiness, and questions about life purpose. His work leans on Narrative Therapy and existential and psychodynamic ideas to help people tell clearer stories about themselves.

Background and approach

He listens for recurring patterns and the meanings people give to their choices. That helps identify small, practical shifts people can try between sessions. Sessions aim to make inner experience easier to understand.

He encourages straightforward talk about hopes, disappointments, and the parts of life that feel stuck. Together, he and the client map how past events and current pressures shape daily behavior. He draws on a mix of reflective conversation and concrete planning.

This can include clarifying values, testing new ways of relating, or developing skills to manage stress and intimacy. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. People who work with him usually look for down-to-earth guidance rather than quick fixes.

He frames progress as learning new ways to act and think, not as overcoming a single problem. Language in sessions stays direct and geared toward what the client wants to change.

Online session options

How Narrative and Existential Ideas Work Online

Narrative Therapy helps people retell the stories they live by, separating problems from identity and finding new ways to act. It can be useful for relationship struggles, questions about sexuality, and a search for life purpose.

Existential Therapy focuses on big questions about meaning, responsibility, and values. It helps when people feel empty, face major life changes, or want clearer direction in work and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which ideas fit a client's goals and preferences. Together they try different ways of working and adjust based on what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is suited for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can work with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
