01About Andrea
Andrea Griggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and struggles with self esteem. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting stress, addiction, anger, and compassion fatigue. Andrea works in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
Andrea uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first and then helps people set small goals. She teaches coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to handle strong emotions.
Background and approach
She also provides educational tools clients can use between sessions. Her background includes work at a crisis and counseling center that focused on people affected by domestic violence and acute crisis. That experience shaped her focus on safety, stability, and practical coping.
She brings three years of counseling practice to her work. Andrea draws from several approaches to tailor help to each person. She often uses client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful thinking.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are added when people want to build motivation or set clear, short-term goals. Sessions are intended to be a collaborative process. Andrea describes counseling as a journey with ups and downs rather than a quick fix.
She aims to be a steady guide while people learn skills that increase overall health and wellbeing.

04Online support
Approaches for online counseling and practical care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping each person set their own pace and goals. It is helpful for building trust, improving self understanding, and making steady changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related distress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. These practices can lower reactivity and help with stress, grief, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences and then adapt the methods. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are practical for brief updates, homework support, or when a written check-in fits a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
