About Julie

Julie Wiggins brings an integrative, evidence-informed approach to therapy centered on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other supportive methods. As an LCSW with eleven years of clinical experience, she helps clients explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work often weaves mindfulness and trauma-informed techniques into tailored plans that emphasize skill-building and emotional regulation. Grounded in a client-centered stance, Julie creates a collaborative environment where individuals can examine relationship concerns, family dynamics, parenting challenges, and identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.

She also addresses a wide range of related matters including grief, career questions, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and reproductive or perinatal matters like fertility and postpartum depression. Julie adapts interventions to each person’s circumstances, drawing on EMDR for trauma-related work when indicated and motivational interviewing to support change.

Based in Indiana, she offers flexible session formats that meet clients where they are and focuses on practical tools alongside deeper exploration to help people move toward their priorities and goals.

How CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with practical behavioral changes; CBT is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management with a focus on skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related memories when appropriate, offering structured techniques to process past events and reduce their current emotional intensity. Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work as gentle practices that increase present-moment awareness and support regulation of mood and stress.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and past experiences with therapy in order to tailor methods that feel manageable and relevant. This means plans may shift over time as needs and priorities evolve, and she aims to involve clients in those decisions at every step.

Online therapy with Julie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people with busy days or transportation challenges. These options allow continuation of work between in-person commitments and offer different communication styles so clients can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
