Andrea Griggs, LPC

Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical coping skills and restoring everyday functioning so clients can handle life’s demands more smoothly. Andrea aims to help people find hope and clearer direction during hard seasons.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Andrea also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to create space for emotions and build steady, realistic routines. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help set achievable goals and track small wins.

Andrea’s background includes work at a crisis and counseling center that served survivors of domestic violence and people facing urgent needs. That experience shaped her attention to safety, pacing, and practical supports. She brings three years of counseling experience and a down-to-earth way of working.

Sessions with Andrea tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She offers education, step-by-step tools, and gentle accountability so people can practice new skills between meetings. The focus is on real-life change rather than quick fixes.

People often come for help with parenting strain, intimacy issues, grief, coping with life changes, or burnout from compassion fatigue. Andrea pays close attention to cultural and life context while helping clients set realistic next steps.

Therapy is presented as a process. Andrea helps people explore values, set small goals, and build coping strategies that fit their daily routines.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care

Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. That approach is practical and works well for structured online sessions where homework and between-session practice are tracked.

She also applies client-centered methods, offering empathetic listening and support while clients describe their priorities. Mindfulness techniques are used in short exercises to calm the body and refocus attention during a busy day, which can be done on a quick call or via messaging prompts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust as needed. She focuses on finding strategies that fit daily routines and expectations rather than one fixed method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and teaching exercises, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for short check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility so people can engage in ways that suit their life and energy levels.
