About Julie

Dr. Julie Griffin is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She holds a master's in clinical/counseling psychology and a doctorate in psychology, and has worked across settings that include private practice, hospitals, schools, prisons, and community mental health. Her work covers stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and blended family issues among other topics.

She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and concrete steps to make daily life more manageable. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused work to address patterns in thinking, feeling, and relating. Sessions are guided by client goals rather than a fixed curriculum.

Her background includes in-home Applied Behavior Analysis work with autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens, plus training in trauma, substance abuse, family and play therapy. Those experiences inform how she notices interaction patterns and routine stressors that affect parents and caregivers. She has also worked in substance abuse treatment programs and anger management settings.

People who contact her for help often want practical tools for coping, clearer communication within their household, or ways to manage grief, addiction, or mood symptoms. She combines evidence-informed techniques with a focus on strengths and day-to-day functioning. Sessions may include talking, behavior planning, and skill practice.

To begin, readers should be aware sessions are offered in English and that international clients are not accepted.

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and may shift as practical results and comfort levels become clearer.

The biography does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on a hectic day. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to work within the chosen format so therapy fits into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
