About Garret
He works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, and major life changes. He also addresses compassion fatigue, career questions, emptiness, fatherhood issues, infidelity, life purpose, men's issues, sexual dysfunction, and sexuality. Sessions look to connect personal meaning with concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Dr. Carlisle uses ideas from existential therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to guide conversations. He helps people make sense of patterns, personal stories, and hidden feelings that shape behavior. The goal is clearer self-understanding that leads to different choices in relationships and work.
Clients can expect a mix of encouragement and challenge. The work moves beyond surface coping and into deeper reflection about values, limits, and desires. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the person’s own goals guide the pace.
Dr. Carlisle practices in Georgia and brings 12 years of clinical experience. He offers sessions in English and asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
How existential and narrative ideas guide online therapy
Existential therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, doubts about purpose, or struggles with connection by naming what matters and where people feel stuck.Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from unhelpful labels and rewrites limiting narratives so relationships and identity can shift in new directions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide whether existential questions, narrative techniques, psychodynamic reflection, or a mix will best match a client's goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets conversations continue when schedules or location make in-person visits difficult. A licensed professional will help shape a practical plan that fits daily life and relationship goals.
