About Nolan
Nolan Garrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 25 years of experience. He focuses on practical help for parents and people facing family challenges, and he addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and relationship tensions in straightforward language.
He earned a Master of Education from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University, and has worked in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health settings, and a private practice. That range of experience shaped a down-to-earth approach to counseling.
Nolan listens without judgment and works with people to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life changes rather than jargon. He emphasizes small, steady steps that can reduce conflict at home and improve daily coping.
He helps people untangle issues like anger, impulsive behavior, intimacy concerns, and career stress so they can make better decisions. Nolan also supports those managing bipolar symptoms and trauma-related struggles, paying attention to how these issues affect family life and parenting.
Nolan is active in professional groups including the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD, and he is a past president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association. He encourages people to reach out, complete the initial steps, and begin work toward clearer relationships and calmer routines.
Approaches that help families and parents online
Nolan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward concrete change. One common approach focuses on problem-solving and skill building to reduce conflict, manage anger, and improve daily routines. This helps when parenting demands or household stress feel overwhelming.Another approach emphasizes coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. It teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and respond differently, which can lower distress and improve interactions with family members.
Finding the right method is a team effort. Nolan will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and life situation. He frames therapy as collaborative work where goals are revisited and adapted as progress happens.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work.
