Garrison Draves

Garrison Draves is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. He brings seven years of experience to sessions and centers work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Garrison emphasizes strengths and collaboration in the room.

He uses straightforward methods to address addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and problems with intimacy and anger. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can try between sessions. He encourages people to notice small changes that add up over time.

Garrison also supports clients dealing with work-related strain, career decisions, and compassion fatigue. He works with issues like communication problems, loneliness, guilt and shame, and mood differences including seasonal patterns. He pays attention to practical effects on day-to-day life and routines.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape clear goals and manageable steps. Sessions aim to clarify priorities, build motivation for change, and test small solutions that fit a person's schedule. Garrison frames therapy as a partnership where the client's perspective guides the plan.

Clients can expect direct feedback and simple tools to practice between meetings. He frames progress as steady, measurable shifts rather than all-or-nothing change. People who are looking to address workplace stress, addictions, relationships, or general low mood may find this practical style helpful.
