Approach-Focused Care Offered Online
Janna Griffin integrates several therapeutic approaches in her work and adapts them to online care so clients can access consistent support from wherever they are. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and helps people improve safety, trust, and intimacy in relationships. This approach is useful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and family dynamics.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, allowing clients to lead the pace of change while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support. It is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and managing life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and developing concrete coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Janna partners with each person to select methods that match their goals, preferences, and needs, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of support from a licensed professional regardless of location within Texas.
