Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Janna Griffin integrates evidence-based approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building realistic, workable alternatives. It often supports clients who want structured strategies for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, or day-to-day overwhelm.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can be a strong fit for clients who want concrete tools and practice between sessions, especially when emotions feel hard to regulate.
Janna also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships and life experiences shape current connection, trust, and self-worth. This approach can be helpful for people working through relationship concerns, family dynamics, or patterns that feel difficult to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janna works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and stay engaged from wherever a client is located in Texas.
