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

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.

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.

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.
