About Janna

Janna Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who brings 25 years of experience working across independent practice and public education.

Background and approach

She integrates a family systems perspective with evidence-based methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, and many other life stresses. Her background includes work with children, teens, and adults, and she draws on that range to tailor practical, growth-oriented plans for each person.

Her style is collaborative and compassionate, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and concrete skills that fit a client's daily life. Janna combines approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapies to help clients explore patterns, strengthen coping, and move toward more balanced functioning.

She focuses on achievable steps and tools that support gradual, sustainable change and aims to help clients create a more fulfilling life aligned with their goals. Beginning therapy with Janna means working with a seasoned clinician who values partnership and practical progress.

Sessions are structured to reflect individual needs, with an emphasis on empathy, clear strategies, and steady support during transitions and difficult moments.

Online Work Using Parts, Attachment, and Collaborative Care

Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and relate to different internal parts - for example, protective or wounded parts - and seeks to create calm, curious connection between those parts and the client’s own compassionate self. It is often useful for addressing patterns rooted in past experiences, emotional reactivity, and identity-related concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others, and it helps people build more supported, connected interactions and repair relational wounds. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect for the client's own pace and goals, creating space for self-directed insight and growth.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and current challenges and then suggest and adapt methods that best fit those needs. That shared planning helps ensure sessions remain practical and aligned with what the client hopes to change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, school, family commitments, or other life demands while still accessing licensed professional support.
