About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She trained in clinical and counseling psychology and completed a Doctorate in Psychology, and has worked across settings that include private practice, schools, hospitals, prisons, group homes, and community mental health programs.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, grief, and addiction. She also works with concerns linked to family background and family of origin issues, attachment questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions address practical day-to-day problems as well as longer standing patterns rooted in earlier relationships.
Her style draws on several well-known approaches including cognitive behavioral methods and attachment-based ideas. She uses client-centered and acceptance-and-commitment practices to help people notice what matters and act on it. Emotion-focused work is part of her toolbox when relationships and emotional bonding are central to the concern.
Julie’s background includes work with adults, children, teens, and families, and she has experience in parenting classes, family reunification, substance abuse programs, and anger management. She has also worked directly with autistic and developmentally delayed children in home-based settings and has used therapeutic animals in clinical work.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and on understanding how patterns from the past affect today. She asks about what a person currently wants to change and then uses techniques from her training to support those goals. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Dr. Griffin’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take steps that match those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and deciding how to act in pressured situations. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns; it helps people notice repeating roles and try new ways of relating that feel more connected. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood, with the therapist reflecting concerns back so a person can make sense of their own goals and choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to change, and will suggest methods from these models to try. Together they check what feels most helpful and adjust the work as it progresses.
The practical benefits of working remotely can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and options that reduce travel time. The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions let them have shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or schedule appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities.
