She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience and works from a viewpoint that each person knows their own story. Her approach centers on building skills, noticing strengths, and making small, steady changes that add up over time.

In sessions she treats clients as collaborators. She listens for practical patterns and helps people practice new ways of responding to old problems. Techniques may include learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, and trying new behaviors between meetings.

Her background includes two decades of professional practice as an LPC in Alabama and Georgia. That experience has included supporting people with first responder stress, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural issues, and the guilt and shame that can follow traumatic events.

People who choose Dr. Griffin can expect clear goals, straightforward feedback, and an emphasis on strengths. She encourages steps that fit daily life and aims to make therapy useful and manageable. If you are thinking about change, she can help you map a path forward.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and building confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form more secure ways of relating, which can be helpful for communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time, and sessions often blend elements from different approaches to meet real-life needs.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and provide chances for brief check-ins when a full visit is impractical. Some people choose remote meetings for lower bandwidth needs or to avoid being on camera, while others prefer longer video sessions for deeper work. A therapist and client can pick the rhythm and style that best fits daily schedules and goals.
