Andrea Griggs, LPC

Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on stress and anxiety. She aims to help people develop clearer coping skills and regain hope when life feels overwhelming. Andrea offers practical guidance and educational tools to support gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Andrea has three years of experience and previously worked in a crisis and counseling center supporting people affected by domestic violence and other urgent situations. That work shaped her interest in helping people find safety and steady coping strategies. She draws on a mix of common-sense approaches to meet each person where they are.

In sessions she listens first and follows the client's lead, then introduces techniques that fit the person's goals. She uses methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, behaviors, and stress responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas also appear when someone wants clear, goal-oriented steps.

Andrea helps people tackle a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports work on communication problems, fertility-related stress, and multicultural concerns.

Counseling with Andrea is described as a guided process with highs and lows. She emphasizes collaboration, realistic expectations, and steady skill-building so people can manage tough moments and move toward the life they want.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judging and supports the client’s own goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can ease stress and anxiety over time.

Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into everyday life. It helps people notice stress reactions earlier and choose different responses rather than reacting on autopilot.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists generally help people shape appointments around work, caregiving, and daily routines so counseling can be a practical part of life.
