About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She holds a doctorate in psychology and brings decades of work across settings including schools, hospitals, group homes, and community mental health.
Dr. Griffin aims to make early steps feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. Her style is warm and practical.
Sessions are built around the client’s strengths and everyday goals.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect clear, direct conversation and tasks to try between sessions. Dr.
Griffin has worked with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, ADHD, parenting strain, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, body image, chronic illness, and blended family challenges.
Her background includes training and experience with cognitive behavioral methods, emotion-focused work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-based therapy. She has also provided in-home support for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens and led programs for substance use and anger management. Outside of sessions she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and working with therapy animals.
She encourages small steps and honest conversation, and looks to help clients balance emotional, physical, and social needs so they can function more easily day to day.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships shape feelings and trust. In sessions this looks like talking through relationship patterns, practicing new ways to connect, and noticing the movements people make when they feel threatened or soothed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It uses exercises to build psychological flexibility and cope with painful emotions without getting stuck. Client-centered therapy puts the person’s own experience at the center of the work and emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration to help people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to see which methods fit their problems, goals, and preferences. That often means trying a few strategies and adjusting as needs change, with the client’s input guiding decisions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy adaptable to different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quicker coping support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep up with therapy between other responsibilities.
