About Janna

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked in private practice and public education and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, useful skills that can be practiced between meetings. She uses a mix of proven approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Much of her past work has involved school settings and community care, which shapes how she thinks about family dynamics and attachment. That background informs her interest in blended family issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, and life transitions.

In session she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other skills-based strategies to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods guide how she helps people repair and understand close relationships.

Her approach is practical rather than theoretical: teaching concrete skills, practicing new ways of responding, and tracking small changes over time. People who want clear tools for handling anger, improving communication, or coping with life stress may find this approach helpful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds shape reactions in close relationships. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns that lead to anger or withdrawal and practice new ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and trying different behaviors. In an online session CBT techniques look like tracking triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and assigning small experiments between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for tolerating distress and regulating intense emotions. Teaching DBT skills online can help people build a short toolkit for moments when anger starts to rise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match goals and daily life. That means discussing what feels doable and adjusting methods over time based on what helps.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or family obligations.
