About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is an LPC based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and challenges like addiction, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She draws on experience from working in a crisis and counseling center that supported domestic violence survivors and others in acute need, and she brings that background into a practical, strengths-focused practice. Her approach centers on building coping skills, restoring clarity, and supporting clients as they pursue goals such as improved communication, renewed purpose, or healthier relationships.
She uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to offer concrete tools and education during treatment. Andrea emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative process with ups and downs, and she aims to stand alongside clients while they learn new skills and work toward greater wellbeing.
Clients can expect a therapist who prioritizes practical strategies, empathetic listening, and individualized pacing. Andrea invites people seeking coping skills, increased resilience, or help navigating life transitions to explore whether her style and tools fit their needs.
Approaches that guide online work and practical relief
Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions to help clients explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practice alternative responses and coping skills. CBT provides structured techniques for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress, while client-centered methods prioritize listening, empathy, and tailoring the pace to each person.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction strategies that can complement cognitive work. Mindfulness exercises are offered as brief practices clients can use between sessions to manage emotional intensity and build resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and Andrea treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, test different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and feasible for their daily lives.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care, fit sessions into busy days, and practice skills with support between appointments.
