About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and other painful life events. She focuses on practical coping skills and steady support to help people move toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.
Andrea draws on her experience working in a crisis and counseling center that assisted domestic violence survivors and people in immediate crisis. That background informs a calm, steady approach in sessions and a focus on safety and practical problem solving.
Background and approach
She uses everyday language and hands-on tools rather than complex jargon. Her sessions often include teaching coping strategies, building communication skills, and setting small, achievable goals. Andrea uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and try out different ways of responding to stress.
She also brings motivational techniques to help clients find what matters most to them and move toward those goals. People meet Andrea for a wide range of concerns, including grief, addiction struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, and depression. She also supports those dealing with fertility challenges, postpartum depression, multicultural concerns, and life transitions.
Andrea describes counseling as a journey with ups and downs. She aims to be a consistent guide, offering education, tools, and collaboration so clients can regain hope, improve relationships, and work toward better overall wellness.
How Andrea Uses Evidence-based Methods Online
Andrea often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address anxiety, stress, and trauma. Client-Centered work means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting concerns back so clients feel heard. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without judgment, which can be useful for panic, chronic stress, and grief. These approaches are explained in plain terms and applied step by step, so clients can practice skills between sessions and track progress together.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then suggest options to try. The plan can change as people learn what fits them best.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a regular schedule, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
