Andrea GriggsLPC

Andrea Griggs is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, postpartum depression, and trauma-related concerns. She focuses on practical coping skills and realistic ways to rebuild day-to-day functioning. Andrea aims to help clients find clarity, hope, and renewed motivation when life feels overwhelming.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens without judgment and offers concrete tools clients can try between sessions. Andrea draws from client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's needs and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to reduce worry and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.

Andrea’s background includes work at a crisis and counseling center serving people affected by domestic violence and other urgent situations. That experience shaped her approach to safety, pacing, and practical support during hard moments. She brings three years of clinical experience to her counseling practice.

Sessions with Andrea often include goal-setting, skills practice, and brief educational materials to reinforce progress. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to help clients move toward specific changes. Her approach is collaborative - she guides while clients set the pace.

People come to Andrea for help with relationships, parenting strain, communication problems, fertility concerns, addiction, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. All work is delivered in English and oriented to the realities of everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It aims to create a respectful space where a person’s goals shape each session and new insights come from being heard.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions. These techniques help reduce overwhelm and support coping during stressful or painful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, because formats were not specified in the original profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use different tools such as guided mindfulness practice or worksheets between meetings to support steady progress.
