About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. She has worked in private practice and in public education, and her listed concerns include anxiety, stress, family and parenting issues, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related problems.
She sees children, teens, and adults and draws on a range of clinical methods to support people facing life transitions and difficult emotions. Her background includes long-term work with young people in school settings as well as outpatient clients in private practice. Janna emphasizes practical skills and small steps that can change daily life.
Her approach combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she uses these methods to help people understand patterns, manage strong emotions, and improve communication. She aims to match techniques to each person's needs and goals.
Sessions often focus on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, addressing sleep and anger problems, and working through grief, trauma, or major life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and challenges tied to identity and relationships.
Janna blends direct skill teaching with reflective conversation. The work typically includes setting concrete goals, trying practical exercises outside sessions, and checking progress over time. This helps people notice small improvements and adjust strategies as things change.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and connection. It looks at patterns between people and helps someone understand how those patterns affect reactions and closeness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead to clarify goals and build confidence in making changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. It teaches specific techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and change behaviors such as avoidance or safety-seeking actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting tools over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
The practical benefits of doing therapy online depend on the session formats available; the biography does not list formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to travel. For some people video allows face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or quieter surroundings matter. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss which format fits best for coping skills, managing anxiety, or practicing interpersonal strategies.
