Dr. Garret Carlisle, LMFT
Depth-focused therapist for relationship and identity issues
About Garret
Dr. Garret Carlisle uses relational and depth-oriented therapy to help people make sense of their inner experience.
Background and approach
He focuses on how personal meaning, past patterns, and choices shape relationships and daily life. Dr.
Carlisle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 12 years of experience in Georgia and works with adults who want clearer direction and stronger emotional footing. He helps people who are struggling with intimacy and relationship problems.
He also supports those facing low self-esteem, career confusion, or major life transitions. Sexual concerns, questions about sexuality, and issues like infidelity or fatherhood stress are part of his focus areas.
Dr. Carlisle draws on Existential, Narrative, and Psychodynamic approaches to look at what gives life meaning, the stories people tell about themselves, and the patterns beneath current behavior.
Sessions aim to uncover underlying themes and to help clients change how they relate to themselves and others. Therapy tends to be reflective and geared toward long-term shifts rather than quick fixes.
He is direct but encouraging in session, offering both challenge and support as clients try new ways of being. Practical conversation and sustained reflection are balanced to help people feel more capable and purposeful.
Work may include revising personal narratives, examining past influences, and practicing new relationship habits. Dr.
Carlisle offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and are arranged through an initial matching process.
How depth therapy translates to online care
Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It can be useful for questions about life purpose, emptiness, or major transitions by encouraging honest reflection on values and priorities.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It helps people rewrite limiting narratives, which can reduce shame and open up new ways of relating to work, intimacy, and fatherhood roles.
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that repeat over time and the feelings beneath current behavior. It explores how past experiences shape reactions today and can be helpful for long-standing relationship habits and sexual concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then suggest which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging fit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
