About Janna

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and has worked in both independent practice and public education. Janna brings a calm, down-to-earth presence and focuses on helping families and parents manage everyday challenges.

She uses simple, practical steps to help people feel steadier at home. Sessions emphasize clear goals and tools that can be used between meetings. Janna pays attention to how family patterns affect behavior and mood.

Background and approach

Her work combines methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-based ideas. That mix helps with symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or anger. It also guides work on parenting stress, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns.

Janna has considerable experience supporting teens and children in school and community settings. She also helps adults facing life transitions, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, grief, and trauma or abuse recovery. Sessions are tailored to each person’s goals.

She focuses on practical skills, improved communication, and steady progress. Janna aims to make therapy understandable and useful for parents and families balancing busy lives.

Approaches that fit family life and online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It looks at how family bonds and early experiences influence reactions today and can help with attachment issues, parenting stress, and family-of-origin problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and improving day-to-day coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person or parent about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Choices about methods are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists see family interactions and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier on hectic days. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into school schedules, work, and caregiving responsibilities, while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
