Hi, my name is Jessica Griffin. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 3 years of clinical experience. I received my Masters Degree from Troy University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have 15 years of experience teaching at-risk youth with the Florida Department of Education. I help young adults through the transition to adulthood. I also work with teachers and first responders struggling with the on and off the job stressors they face.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will take the time to get to know you and your story. I hope to make you feel that you are in a safe place free of judgement and that you have made the right decision to come to therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a 15 year educator, I saw such a need for helping students on a deeper level. I feel that becoming a therapist has truly made this possible. I am humbled by each and every one of my clients that have the strength to step into my office to begin the journey to healing.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Eclectic
I believe that demonstrating flexibility and meeting clients where they are at any given time is the best approach. While one modality may work for you during the initial stages of treatment, as time goes on we may discover that there is something that would be more fitting for you. Humans are complex and there is no one way to treat all clients so I will often pull from various modalities to build a treatment plan that works for you.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I received training from the University of Central Florida in Imaginal Exposure and In Vivo Exposure Therapy which are two types of Exposure Response Prevention.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Through my internship and employment at an inpatient behavioral hospital, I learned about and utilized DBT to help patients develop mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have training and experience with several types of Cognitive Behavioral therapy including Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation and Dialectal Behavioral Therapy.
