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 stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, plus related issues like grief, trauma, and relationship struggles.

She helps people of different ages think through practical next steps. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable changes. Janna often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed approaches to address everyday problems and bigger transitions.

Her background includes long experience with young people in school settings as well as adults outside those settings. That mix informs how she frames problems and supports change, especially around family interactions and parenting challenges. She pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and daily routines.

Typical sessions focus on developing coping skills, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming stress. She also addresses sleep disturbance, anger, and work-related strain alongside life transitions such as divorce or caregiving stress. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she works at a pace set by the client.

Janna’s style is practical and client-centered. She and the person in therapy collaborate on which tools to try and when to adjust course. People seeking help with parenting pressures, blended-family issues, or attachment-related concerns often find this straightforward approach useful.

How sessions work

How attachment and CBT work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. It helps people notice repeating dynamics with partners, parents, or children and try different responses that feel safer and more effective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools for changing thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress by teaching specific skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed together.

The therapist’s profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people use techniques and homework between meetings so skills transfer to daily life.
