About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Andrea also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting strain, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She practices in a straightforward, skills-focused way. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and using educational tools. Andrea draws on client-centered listening alongside evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices.
Her background includes work in a crisis and counseling center supporting people affected by domestic violence and other urgent situations. That experience shaped her approach to safety planning, clear communication, and practical coping strategies.
In session she often uses brief, goal-oriented work alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps. This can mean setting small, achievable goals, testing new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing what did or did not help. These methods are commonly used for stress, midlife or career shifts, grief, and breaking unhelpful patterns.
Andrea supports people working through fertility concerns, postpartum depression, multicultural issues, HIV/AIDS related stress, and forgiveness work. She helps clients clarify what matters next and practices skills that reduce distress when life feels uncertain.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Andrea Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Andrea integrates client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or problematic coping, and then practicing concrete alternatives to reduce distress.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness techniques can help with stress, grief, and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts techniques as progress and preferences become clear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Choosing a format can also help match the session to practical needs - for example, phone sessions may be a simple way to check in when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions allow more visual communication.
