Christianne Griffin, LPC

Christianne Griffin, LPC, helps people facing midlife changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical ways to manage difficult emotions and life transitions.

She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to build small, usable skills for everyday life. Christianne uses tools drawn from approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to reduce worry and increase emotional balance.

Her style centers on listening without judgment and tailoring the pace to each person. People can expect concrete strategies for sleep, anger, and coping with grief or caregiver stress alongside space to talk through painful memories and attachment concerns. The goal is better day-to-day functioning, not quick fixes.

Christianne also addresses career questions, body image, and challenges linked to ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and chronic illness. She pays attention to how past losses, adoption or foster histories, and abandonment can shape current relationships and self-worth.

Clients who prefer a calm, steady approach will find sessions that balance emotional processing with skills practice. Christianne encourages practical steps that can be tried between visits, then reviewed and adjusted together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. It can help with midlife uncertainty, anxiety, and decisions about work or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical behavior changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing moods.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotions in relationships and improving emotional responses. It can be useful for communication problems and attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions combine talking, skill practice, and homework when useful, and the plan is adjusted together over time.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It also lets people use strategies and skills in their everyday settings and review progress with the therapist between sessions.
