About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both independent practice and public education and brings a steady, empathetic presence to sessions. Parents often find her straightforward style calming when they are worried about stress or anxiety in their household.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on short-term, useful tools and small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
She draws on several therapy methods to match what a person needs, rather than using a single fixed technique. Griffin commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression, parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship tensions, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her experience in schools informs how she talks about young people and family dynamics without assuming one-size-fits-all solutions. Therapy with her emphasizes clear goals and hands-on strategies. Expect a mix of listening, practical skills, and check-ins on progress.
She frames challenges in everyday terms and works with clients to try changes that fit their life. To start, she asks about your immediate concerns and what you hope to change. From there she and the client shape a plan that balances short-term relief with longer-term growth.
Using focused approaches in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationships shape current emotions and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and depression going.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps focus. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a workday break.
