Dr. Garret Carlisle

Dr. Garret Carlisle uses talk-based therapy to help people find direction and meaning in their lives. He is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience and practices in Georgia. He focuses on career and relationship concerns and on issues that affect how people connect and feel about themselves.

He works with common struggles like low self-esteem, feeling empty, and navigating major life changes. He also helps with intimacy-related problems, sexual concerns, fatherhood challenges, and recovery after infidelity. Career questions and compassion fatigue are part of his focus, too. Language of work is straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

Dr. Carlisle draws on approaches that look at life stories, inner meanings, and long-standing patterns. In sessions he helps people tell and reframe their stories, understand deep emotional patterns, and examine what gives life purpose. Conversations aim to make values and choices clearer so change feels possible and manageable.

People can expect a mix of listening, reflective questions, and practical tasks to try between sessions. The goal is calmer inner life, clearer priorities, and better day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in English and do not accept international clients. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How existential and narrative work translate to online care

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. It helps people facing life transitions, career uncertainty, or a sense of emptiness by naming values and clarifying what matters most.

Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps rewrite limiting narratives so people can make different choices in relationships, work, and personal life. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest whether an existential, narrative, or psychodynamic focus - or a blend - might make the most sense. This decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or parenting demands. It can make attending sessions simpler when travel would be difficult and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. The original biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can support reflection on career, relationships, life purpose, and intimacy in ways that fit into a busy day.
