About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. She focuses on building practical coping skills and supporting people through major life changes. Andrea centers care on real steps clients can use day to day to feel steadier and clearer.
Andrea draws on methods like Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a straightforward, usable plan. She also uses mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help clients notice what works and repeat it.
How Andrea works
Sessions emphasize learning tools and small changes rather than long lectures. Her background includes work at a crisis and counseling center assisting people affected by domestic violence and urgent situations. That experience shaped a calm, steady approach to people facing intense stress or abuse-related trauma.
Andrea aims to meet clients where they are and move at a manageable pace. Therapy with Andrea often begins with identifying a few immediate goals. She uses education, motivational interviewing, and practical exercises to help clients reach those goals.
Conversations are collaborative and focused on real-world improvement. People come to Andrea for support with relationships, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, postpartum depression, fertility concerns, and multicultural worries.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online using a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Andrea’s Methods Work Online
Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s concerns come first. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions to stress, grief, or relationship worries.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing trauma-related reactions because it focuses on clear steps and exercises clients can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Andrea will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. That might mean trying mindfulness skills for calm, using motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, or focusing on quick solution-focused steps to tackle an immediate problem.
Online sessions make this work flexible and easier to fit in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option during busy days. Live chat or text-based messaging gives shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people maintain momentum and use new skills in everyday life.
