About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience based in Texas. She has spent decades in private practice and public education supporting people through everyday struggles and major life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, and she focuses on helping clients take small steps that add up to real differences.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and grief. Parenting and family concerns are common topics, including blended family issues and family of origin problems. Codependency, attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and communication or control problems are also areas she addresses.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. Sessions emphasize practical tools, emotion awareness, and clearer communication. The goal is to build coping skills people can use between appointments.
Janna has particular experience with school-aged clients from her time in education, though she also sees adults facing career strain, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and medical-related challenges like cancer. She aims to tailor each plan to what the person needs right now rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
She works in English and practices in Texas. Starting therapy begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling step so the therapeutic plan fits a person’s goals and life rhythm.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior, and it helps with codependency, attachment issues, and family patterns by increasing awareness of emotional needs. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and pacing, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through concerns like parenting stress or career strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and small homework tasks that help with anxiety, sleeping problems, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide what fits best. That decision is made together and can change as work progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to remote work so clients can practice skills and track progress in everyday settings.
