Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Janna Griffin integrates structured, research-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to respond differently, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day overwhelm. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, offering concrete tools for managing intense feelings, conflict, and impulsive reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape coping and connection, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, family dynamics, and healing from difficult past experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit each person’s preferences and circumstances. The process can evolve over time as needs change and new insights emerge.
Online therapy also adds flexibility. Clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when schedules are busy or privacy at home is limited. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, practice skills between sessions, and get support in ways that fit real life.
