About

Dr. Joyce A. Griffin brings three decades of clinical experience to her counseling practice in Illinois. She approaches therapy in a solution-oriented, teaching style, believing that many people come to counseling when they are unsure what to do next. By offering practical skills and coping strategies, she helps clients develop new options for managing the challenges in their lives.

Her work is eclectic - she tailors methods to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Cognitive behavioral techniques frequently guide her practice because they help clients create their own solution-focused plans. She provides constructive feedback, assigns homework tasks, and invites clients to collaborate on a treatment plan so they can work together on problem-solving.

Dr. Griffin is licensed to practice counseling in Missouri and is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois. She periodically consults with trusted professional colleagues who practice outside the local area, and she does so on a confidential basis. She is comfortable following her own clinical judgment and applies the approaches she believes are right for each situation.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, receiving therapy online has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. Online therapy can address these everyday issues with approaches similar to those used face-to-face.

One major benefit is flexibility - people can choose the format that fits their lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to incorporate therapy into busy schedules and to connect in the way that feels most comfortable.

Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients are typically able to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many individuals, online therapy provides a convenient and effective way to get the support they need while maintaining the practicalities of everyday life.
