Andrea Griggs

Andrea Griggs, LPC, helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, trauma, and the hard days that follow major life changes. She focuses on practical coping skills, clearer thinking, and rebuilding hope. Andrea’s approach is straightforward and aimed at everyday problems like relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and burnout from caregiving or work. Andrea draws on experience from working at a crisis and counseling center that supported people affected by domestic violence and other urgent situations. That background informs how she talks about safety, pacing, and realistic first steps in counseling. She uses tools that teach skills as well as ways to think differently about stressful situations. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also uses mindfulness exercises and solution-focused ideas to help people notice what’s working and build on it. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps clients find the motivation to change habits or follow through on choices. Her work is aimed at helping clients regain a sense of control and direction. She provides clear education about skills and practical exercises to practice between meetings. Therapy is treated as a process with steady progress rather than a quick fix. Andrea holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Texas and has three years of clinical experience. She offers services in English and does not take international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How Andrea Uses Talk and Practical Tools Online

Andrea often blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practice. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and teach small behavior changes to reduce stress and manage anger. Mindfulness practices help people notice reactions and calm the body during tense moments. Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the person’s life and needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice coping skills in the settings where stress actually happens, so tools learned in sessions can be applied right away.
