Dr. Garret Carlisle

Dr. Garret Carlisle is a Georgia-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and career questions, and lists life purpose among his focus areas.

Dr. Carlisle frames therapy as a careful look at a person’s inner world. He uses longer-form conversations to help people make sense of their thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Sessions often address how unrest inside shows up in work, friendships, sex life, or parenting roles.

His approach draws from existential, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas. That means he pays attention to life meaning, the stories people tell about themselves, and how past experiences shape current reactions. He combines those viewpoints to help people notice repeated patterns and try different ways of responding.

Dr. Carlisle says he both encourages and challenges clients as they consider changes. He describes the work as digging into underlying issues rather than quick fixes. Conversations can include looking at values, testing assumptions, and trying new behaviors between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. Practical steps to begin include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site’s online options. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning and choice. It helps when major life changes leave someone unsure what matters next or how to live with more purpose. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the roles those stories create. It can help reframe a stuck identity or work-related self-image. Psychodynamic work highlights patterns from earlier life that keep repeating now, offering ways to notice and change those patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what online options are currently offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic methods in remote sessions to focus on meaning, personal stories, and repeated patterns while helping clients balance therapy with everyday life.
