About Janna
Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in Texas. She has worked in independent practice and public education and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. Janna focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel more able to manage daily life.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals and try concrete strategies. Sessions often include problem-solving, communication practice, and tools to manage emotions and stress.
Background and approach
Janna uses several common therapies to guide her work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy to handle strong emotions. Attachment-based ideas guide how she talks about relationships and safety in close connections.
She has supported people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and coping with life changes. Additional areas include compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and forgiveness work. Sessions are offered in English and are tailored to each person’s pace.
Janna emphasizes steady progress through small, practical changes rather than dramatic overhauls. She helps people build routines that improve sleep, focus, and daily functioning. People who want clear tools, steady encouragement, and a collaborative plan may find her style helpful.
The work centers on real-life problems and workable steps you can use between meetings.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Janna uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves setting small, specific goals and trying short exercises between sessions to improve mood and focus.She also draws on attachment-based thinking to examine how early and close relationships affect current connections. This approach helps people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, or more supported-feeling relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals and try different techniques to see what fits. That collaborative process shapes which tools and exercises are used in future sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing skill reminders between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use tools in real-life moments.
