About Nolan
Nolan Garrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting pressures. He practices in Texas and speaks English. Nolan aims to create a calm space where parents can talk through immediate concerns and find clearer ways to handle daily strain.
He earned a Master of Education from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University, and has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, community mental health, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That range gives him experience with both crisis situations and steady, ongoing support. Nolan frames therapy as practical work. He listens without judgment and helps clients set concrete goals.
Conversations may focus on managing mood, improving relationships, coping with grief, or handling anger and impulsive behaviors. He is a member of professional groups including the American Counseling Association, the Texas Counseling Association, and CHADD, and has served as president of the Heart of Texas Counseling Association.
Those roles reflect a long commitment to the counseling field and to supporting people with attention-related challenges. Sessions often emphasize clear problem-solving and gradual changes you can use at home. Nolan encourages clients to take an active role in sessions and in practicing new skills between meetings.
He recognizes that therapy takes effort but can make everyday life feel more manageable. If you are a parent dealing with overwhelm, relationship friction, or mood concerns, Nolan offers steady, experience-based support to help you find practical ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit family life
Nolan uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical steps and clear goals. One common approach helps people learn new coping skills for managing anxiety and depression by breaking problems into smaller, manageable tasks and practicing specific tools between sessions. Another approach centers on improving interactions and communication in close relationships and family dynamics by identifying patterns and trying different ways to respond.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nolan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together you will try strategies, check how they feel, and adjust what you do based on what helps most.
Online therapy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls let you talk face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins, and messaging or chat can be convenient for short updates or between-session support. These options aim to increase flexibility, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around parenting and work demands.
