About Billie

Billie Joiner is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of professional experience, practicing in Indiana. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life changes. Billie also supports people facing issues like grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and career questions.

Billie frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to move through problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long, abstract talks.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening and evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she listens first, then helps people test new reactions, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and try small behavioral changes that can make daily life easier.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the drive to change. It’s a conversational way to sort out what matters most and to decide which next steps feel doable.

People who choose Billie often want a straightforward, collaborative process. She guides short-term problem solving as well as longer work on patterns like control issues, attachment concerns, or chronic stress. To start, she asks about current goals and what has helped before.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client sets the agenda. Online work uses that same focus to identify what matters most and what goals feel useful. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small experiments to change them; online sessions can include practicing thought records, behavioral experiments, and planning follow-ups between meetings. Motivational interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change through guided conversation rather than pressure.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Billie works collaboratively to decide which methods to try first based on the client’s goals, needs, and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative decision-making continues as progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or family schedules. Billie uses approaches that translate to remote conversations and practical homework, and she helps people find a rhythm that matches their daily life.
