DJ Griffith is fully booked.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and have been practicing for over a decade. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, and individuals navigating complex mental health treatments. My approach blends warmth, evidence-based practices like DBT, CBT, and ERP, and a strong belief in the power of self-compassion and curiosity.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll take time to get to know each other and begin building a strong foundation of trust and collaboration. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what’s been feeling hard lately, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. My goal is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported as we begin shaping a plan that feels aligned with your needs and goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to create a nonjudgmental, affirming space and to bring clarity to complex emotional experiences. I'm deeply attuned to nuance and patterns, which helps clients feel both seen and gently challenged. I integrate evidence-based practices with genuine curiosity, humor, and compassion, empowering clients to make meaningful, sustainable change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, and people who feel like they’re doing everything they’re supposed to—but still feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or stuck. My clients are deep thinkers, often highly self-aware, and ready to grow—but they’re missing the support, skills, or validation they need to really move forward. Together, we work on untangling patterns rooted in trauma, perfectionism, or people-pleasing so they can live with more ease, confidence, and authenticity.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a therapist, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and increasing distress tolerance. I focus on creating a validating, nonjudgmental space while supporting clients in making meaningful behavioral changes aligned with their values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, and take actionable steps toward their goals. My approach emphasizes collaboration, self-awareness, and building lasting coping strategies for everyday life.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients confront feared thoughts, images, and situations while resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. Through structured, supportive exposure work, clients build confidence in their ability to tolerate uncertainty and reduce anxiety over time.
Trauma Informed Care
I practice from a trauma-informed lens, recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and the importance of safety, choice, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a respectful, empowering environment where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace and rebuild trust in themselves and others.
