About Garrison
Garrison Draves is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin and Arizona with seven years of professional experience. He focuses on practical concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family issues, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and steps people can use between meetings.
He uses straightforward methods to help people change patterns that cause pain. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach for people who want help making and sustaining changes, especially around substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set concrete short-term goals and track progress.
In sessions he talks through current difficulties, looks for small steps forward, and checks what is and isn’t working. He pays attention to career strain, workplace problems, and the stress that modern life brings. He also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Garrison works with men and young adults on topics such as anger, self-esteem, and seasonal mood changes. He has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and the particular pressures they can bring. Language of sessions is English and international clients are not accepted.
Practical matters such as cost vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.
BHow sessions work
Online approaches and how they fit everyday life
Garrison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then try practical changes. That approach helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck, which is common with drug and alcohol issues or other habits. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete near-term goals and check progress in weekly life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person’s situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to find which techniques lead to useful, manageable steps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short update is needed. For some people, phone meetings are simpler when video feels like extra effort, and goal-focused work can be done in fewer sessions. Ask about session formats when you schedule so the setup matches your daily routine.
