About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, compulsive behaviors, and compassion fatigue.
Andrea draws on practical methods to help people build coping skills and bring more clarity to difficult situations. Sessions focus on concrete strategies like managing strong reactions, improving communication, and setting achievable goals. She uses tools that a person can practice between meetings.
Her background includes work in a crisis and counseling center supporting people affected by domestic violence and other urgent situations. That experience shaped her interest in helping people strengthen coping after trauma and high-stress periods. Andrea also supports issues related to fertility, postpartum concerns, HIV/AIDS, and multicultural stressors.
In sessions she offers educational tools and step-by-step guidance rather than quick fixes. She explains options, practices skills together, and helps people test what works in daily life. The focus is on gradual changes that reduce overwhelm and improve relationships.
People who choose to work with Andrea will complete planning and goal-setting early on. She integrates talk-based work with mindful exercises and problem-solving so clients leave with clear next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep stress and anger high. It can help with workplace frustration, relationship conflicts, and setting new habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing sensations and thoughts without reacting immediately, which can reduce impulsive responses and lower daily tension.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work she does with clients. Together they look at goals, try different techniques, and adjust the approach based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The practical aim is to build skills that transfer into everyday life, whether learning new breathing exercises, practicing communication steps, or planning behavior changes between sessions.
