About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She trained at the University of Louisville and completed a Doctorate in Psychology at Spalding University. Her work covers stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, addictions, relationship issues, grief, and related challenges.
She has worked in many settings including group homes, private practice, schools, prisons, hospitals, and community mental health facilities. Early in her career she held a certification in Applied Behavior Analysis and provided in-home services for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens. That background informs how she thinks about behavior and supports for families.
Sessions focus on practical problem solving and steady emotional work. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and emotion-focused methods to help people address communication, anger, intimacy, and parenting stress. Her style is strength-based and goal oriented while remaining responsive to what clients bring each week.
She has experience with substance use treatment, anger management, family reunification, and parenting classes. Clients who have adopted, fostered, or who cope with caregiver stress, chronic illness, or blended family issues may find her background relevant.
Outside of clinical work she values hands-on activities like arts and crafts and has used therapy animals in some settings. To start, readers should be prepared to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new ways of responding. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping or eating difficulties, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationship patterns affect present bonds and communication. It can help with intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and family interactions.Choosing which approach to use is something the therapist does together with the client. She will talk through goals, what feels helpful in session, and adjust techniques based on progress and preference. The process is collaborative and practical rather than fixed at the start.
The site notes how to get started but does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also allow sessions that do not require being on camera or that use a shorter format when needed. Ask about session length and technical details when you schedule so arrangements match your routine.
