About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She trained in psychology at the University of Louisville and completed a Doctorate in Psychology at Spalding University, broadening her work to include children, adolescents, and families.
Her background includes diverse settings such as independent practice, schools, hospitals, prisons, group homes, and community mental health programs, and she has worked with clients across a wide range of concerns from trauma and substance use to developmental and behavioral challenges. Her style emphasizes a strengths-based, individualized approach that invites clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Dr. Griffin draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed methods, family and play therapy, and elements from acceptance and attachment-focused models to tailor care to each person.
She values practical balance across mental, emotional, social, and physical domains and often integrates creative tools and therapeutic animals where appropriate. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, compassionate clinician who aims to help them build coping skills and move toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to value-guided actions, which can support coping with life transitions and chronic concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonding to improve current relational dynamics and emotional regulation, often benefiting families and those with attachment-related difficulties.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess goals, preferences, and needs, then adapt techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and practical. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions evolve in step with progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care around busy lives and geographic constraints while allowing for different modes of interaction depending on the issue and client comfort.
