About Garrison
LCSW in Arizona with seven years of experience, Garrison Draves focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family concerns, and mood struggles. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes.
Garrison listens for clear, usable steps that people can try between sessions. He treats problems like anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction by breaking them into manageable parts. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and which small changes could make daily life easier.
When addictions or substance use are part of the concern, he uses motivational interviewing to help people weigh options and build their own reasons for change. With stress, mood disorders, and anxiety he often uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives in everyday situations. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete goals and notice progress quickly.
Garrison also supports people dealing with career strain, communication problems, loneliness, guilt and shame, and issues connected to military service. He works with intimacy-related issues and with those coping with life changes or compassion fatigue. Sessions emphasize direct problem solving and practical coping skills.
Sessions are conducted in English. His credential is LCSW and his practice is based in Arizona. People interested in starting are asked to use the site matching process to schedule a first appointment.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Garrison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in ways that fit an online setting. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. This helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving tools to test and change daily patterns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation, which can be helpful for people dealing with substance use or ambivalence about goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on practical skills, goal setting, and motivational work that translate into everyday routines.
