About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of practice in Indiana. She brings years of experience across many settings and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what’s hard.
She introduces straightforward, practical steps so clients can start making changes right away. Her background spans clinics, schools, hospitals, group homes, prisons, and community mental health programs. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life situations.
Background and approach
She has worked with adults and has experience from settings that included parenting, substance use programs, and anger management. Julie’s training includes doctoral work in psychology and graduate study in clinical and counseling psychology. She uses a strengths-based approach and draws on several methods to match what each person needs.
Therapy focuses on helping people balance their thoughts, emotions, body reactions, and social life so daily functioning improves. In sessions she listens for what matters most, then helps set small, manageable goals. She uses practical tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches along with methods that address relationships and attachment patterns.
Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative, with an emphasis on building skills and making them useful in real life. Outside of work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and working with animals that have been part of some therapeutic activities. She values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to support people through both hard moments and personal progress.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Dr. Griffin commonly uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns between people and how those patterns affect stress and relationships. This approach helps identify interactions that keep problems going and opens possibilities for change. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then move toward things that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence that focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work similar to office visits. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during travel or a tight schedule. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
