About Andrea
Andrea Griggs, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. She offers practical guidance to build coping skills and find clearer direction. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what will help now.
Andrea draws on experience from working in a crisis and counseling center. That background informs how she responds to people coming out of violence, trauma, or sudden personal upheaval. She uses short-term tools when they fit and deeper conversations when needed.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills you can practice between meetings. Andrea teaches breathing and mindfulness techniques, thought-challenging skills from cognitive behavioral work, and goal-focused steps to move forward. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
People often come to her for help with relationships, parenting strain, communication problems, or compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with fertility issues, postpartum depression, and grief after loss. Andrea aims to help people regain a sense of control and hope.
Her style is warm and practical. She explains strategies in plain language and gives educational tools you can use at home. Therapy is framed as a partnership where you set the pace and she helps guide the process.
Andrea is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online approaches that focus on skills and goals
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person and their experience at the center of sessions. It means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps you set the pace and goals. This approach helps people who need acceptance, clearer thinking about choices, and steady support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help calm the body and focus the mind. It can be paired with skill work to reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.
Andrea will work with each person to find the right mix of approaches. Choosing what feels helpful is a collaborative process based on needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video mimics a face-to-face meeting, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for short check-ins or when typing feels more convenient. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
