Janna Griffin, LPC

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience across private practice and public education. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on helping people manage everyday stresses and bigger life changes. Janna works with children, teens, and adults and aims to meet clients where they are. She emphasizes collaboration and respect in sessions.

Her background blends several common therapeutic approaches. Janna uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused ideas to address patterns that cause repeated problems. She draws on her time in schools to understand how family, peers, and routines affect young people’s behavior and mood.

In sessions she prioritizes simple, concrete tools. Clients can expect clear strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep disruption. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, caregiving strain, and changes linked to health concerns. Conversations often include skill building, problem solving, and checking small changes from week to week.

Janna pays attention to relationships and attachment issues when they come up. That can mean working on communication, boundaries, or patterns passed down from family of origin. She also helps with parenting challenges and blended-family concerns by focusing on practical steps parents can use right away.

People describe the process as steady and focused on progress rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to help clients find usable tools and build routines that fit their lives.

How Janna’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. In practice this means noticing how people relate, then using gentle, focused work to shift unhelpful patterns that affect stress and caregiving roles.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and aims to make sessions feel collaborative. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what’s said, and helps people discover their own solutions for anxiety, low self-esteem, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep difficulties, mood problems, and coping with stressful life events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Confirm session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example sessions can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera when people prefer audio only. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to learn which session options are offered and how they can best fit into daily routines.
