About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. She has worked in both independent practice and public education and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions. Her steady presence helps people facing big life stresses find manageable next steps.
She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, family conflict, and changes like divorce or caregiving strain. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and career stress.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses attachment and blended family issues as well. Janna blends several well-known therapeutic methods to fit each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear, usable skills and short-term strategies alongside conversation about patterns that affect relationships.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical homework when that is helpful. Her style is warm, respectful, and straightforward. She avoids jargon and aims to make sessions feel like a conversation that leads to real shifts in day-to-day life.
Parents looking for help with boundaries, discipline strategies, or family communication will find that practical focus especially useful. Janna’s background in schools gives her insight into how stress shows up for people in work and home roles. She guides people toward small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
The emphasis is on building coping tools that fit a person’s real life.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. Online sessions can help people notice and change repeating interaction patterns and improve emotional attunement in close relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping clients find their own solutions for parenting, stress, or identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It suits problems like anxiety, sleep trouble, anger, and mood challenges by teaching practical skills and step-by-step exercises that translate well to video or messaging work.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life demands and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process can involve brief skills work, deeper relationship work, or a mix based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try exercises between meetings, and fit support into a work break or hectic day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice new skills in everyday settings.
