About Janna

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience in private practice and public education. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing big life changes and persistent stress. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon. She focuses on clear, usable tools from therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and uses attachment-informed ideas to understand relationships. Sessions tend to center on manageable goals, skill building, and improving daily routines like sleep and coping with anxiety. Her background includes extensive work with children, teens, and adults in school and clinic settings. That experience informs how she talks with parents and young people about behavioral and emotional concerns. She brings patience and real-world strategies that fit family life and school schedules. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem-solving homework between sessions. Janna emphasizes small changes that add up, such as better communication habits, emotion regulation strategies, and clearer boundaries at home or work. She describes the first session as a chance to set goals and decide practical next steps together. The focus is on what will make daily life easier and more manageable, from coping with grief or burnout to navigating relationship or career crossroads.

How approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that affect trust and closeness and can be useful for intimacy-related struggles or attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, mood swings, and impulsive behaviors. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janna will work together with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative planning often starts in the first few sessions and can change as needs evolve. Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work or school schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools and worksheets during a session and practice skills at home, which supports day-to-day behavior change.
