Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients set concrete, achievable goals and build on existing strengths to produce measurable progress in a relatively brief time frame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Dr. Griffin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and involves clients in creating treatment plans so that therapy aligns with what matters most to them.
