About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of experience based in Indiana. She holds a doctorate in psychology and a master's in clinical/counseling psychology, and she has worked across hospitals, schools, group homes, prisons, and community mental health settings.
Dr. Griffin draws on a wide clinical background to help people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach is warm and practical.
Background and approach
She builds sessions around a person's strengths and uses techniques that match individual needs. Conversations are straightforward and focused on usable steps people can try between sessions. She emphasizes open dialogue and a nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be spoken freely.
Dr. Griffin has experience with trauma, substance use issues, behavior concerns, and attention differences. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, eating or sleeping problems, and major life changes.
Her work has included anger management and parenting programs in a variety of settings. She uses several therapy methods including cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-focused work, acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered listening, and emotionally focused techniques. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs rather than following a single script.
Outside of therapy she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and Legos, and she has incorporated therapeutic animals into her work. Those interests often help her connect with clients and bring practical, calming activities into sessions.

How therapy styles adapt to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on clear skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early experiences shape current reactions and connection issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Together they will adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging are handy for brief updates and ongoing reminders. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits difficult.
