About Whitney Garr

What I Encourage You to Do... I Do

As a mother of four adult children and grandmother of four precious boys, I believe that close, healthy, strong relationships are the foundation of building a happy, meaningful life. With over 16 years of experience, I provide active, realistic virtual psychotherapy and life coaching across California, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

Close Relationships and Healthy Life Balance

Whitney Garr, LCSW

A Harvard study of adult development states the findings: "Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives." Furthermore, psychiatrist Dr. Robert Waldinger of Massachusetts General Hospital observed: "Loneliness kills. It's as powerful as smoking or alcoholism."

A big part of my therapy with clients is addressing relationships, as well as all the other facets of life, creating a healthy balance. I am also a provider that will not just listen, but give perspective and guidance, as well as send you materials via email or text that I think could be helpful. I want to give you every possible resource to be successful!

Living What I Encourage

A Realistic, Active Practice

My Office Space

A Peaceful Teletherapy Setting

While sessions are held virtually for clients across four states, my dedicated workspace is intentional, calm, and welcoming—designed to foster focused, unhurried care.

What I Encourage You to Do... I Do

Daily Wellness Rituals

A stack of books, a motivational mug, and a notebook are on an outdoor table.

Practicing the habits that sustain mental clarity—daily movement, mindfulness, reflective reading, and intentional stillness—is part of how I live each day.

I Love Seeking Moments of Awe

Whether admiring a vibrant desert cactus bloom or pausing to take in a breathtaking sunset, finding awe in the everyday restores perspective and calms the soul.
