About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 18 years of experience. She earned a master's degree in clinical/counseling psychology at the University of Louisville and completed a Doctorate in Psychology at Spalding University. She has worked in many settings and brings a broad clinical background to sessions.
Her career has included work in group homes, schools, prisons, hospitals, and community mental health programs. She has supported people in substance abuse treatment, anger management, family reunification, parenting classes, and in-home services for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens. Those roles shaped a practical, hands-on style.
In sessions she focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental environment. She uses a strength-based outlook and adapts methods to fit each person. That means talking through problems, practicing new behaviors, and noticing what matters most to daily life.
Her background includes extensive training in trauma, substance abuse, cognitive behavioral approaches, family and play therapy. She has also worked with therapeutic animals and sometimes incorporates them when appropriate. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, parenting, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and other life changes.
She aims to help people find a balance among thinking, feeling, body, and social needs so they can function better day to day. To begin, visitors can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, sleep problems, and mood swings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and the client's own pace to build trust and clarify goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit. That collaborative planning helps shape practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a work break, or choosing a shorter phone check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can help clients plan how to use sessions in ways that match day-to-day routines and responsibilities.
