About Janna

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked in both private practice and public education and focuses on common life stressors such as anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her listed areas include parenting, family issues, blended family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and career stress among others.

Griffin uses practical, structured methods in sessions. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches. Conversations aim to surface patterns, build coping skills, and improve communication. Clients can expect clear tools and short-term strategies as well as work on longer-term relationship patterns.

Her background in education informs a focus on routines, developmental stressors, and transitions. That experience contributes to a straightforward style that emphasizes problem solving and skill practice. Sessions often cover coping with life changes, parenting challenges, and the special pressures of blended households.

She describes her work as collaborative and respectful, concentrating on small, manageable steps. Practical exercises and behavioral experiments may be used between visits to reinforce progress. The emphasis is on what clients can do differently in day-to-day life.

Janna practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today. It can help when trust, closeness, or loyalty conflicts in blended households create tension. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress that gets in the way of parenting or work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills. Those tools can reduce intense reactions and improve communication in tense family interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to use and how to practice them between sessions.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice communication skills in real-life moments and then discuss what happened in the next session.
