About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She draws on long experience in both independent practice and public education to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth.
She listens first and then offers practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions focus on clear goals and tools that people can use in daily life.
Background and approach
Janna uses methods that emphasize emotions, relationships, and thinking patterns. She blends attachment-focused work with cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix is aimed at improving communication, managing intense feelings, and reshaping unhelpful thinking.
She often helps people cope with parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, caregiving strain, and career pressures. She also supports people dealing with attention challenges, bipolar mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. Many clients come for help with sleep, anger, or rebuilding self-esteem.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Janna explains options, checks in on what’s helping, and adjusts plans when needed. The goal is steady progress through small, manageable changes.
People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools find her approach useful. She aims to make therapy feel workable for everyday life and to help people move toward better balance.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns with partners or family and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so care feels collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
