Andrea Griggs, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Andrea

Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She focuses on building coping skills and practical strategies so clients can feel steadier day to day. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-focused, aimed at clear steps rather than vague promises.

Andrea draws on experience from working in a crisis and counseling center that supported domestic violence survivors and people in immediate need.

Background and approach

That work shaped how she talks about safety, boundaries, and practical supports. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness techniques and client-centered listening are part of her style.

She offers a calm space to talk through feelings and to practice new ways of responding. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs a nudge to try something different. Sessions include teaching and practice as well as conversation.

Andrea aims to help clients find clarity, rebuild hope, and improve relationships using concrete skills and education. She says counseling has highs and lows and will work alongside each person through the process. She holds a Texas LPC with license number TX LPC 83216 and has three years of professional experience.

Sessions are provided in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person where they are, which helps create a comfortable tone even when meeting remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into clear pieces and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on building what is already working in a person's life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and comfort level. That might mean trying a skill-based plan one week and a more reflective, client-centered conversation the next.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around schedules, keep therapy consistent when life is busy, and return to tools and messages between visits. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and adjust plans so therapy remains practical and usable in day-to-day life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
