About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in clinical/counseling psychology and a Doctorate in Psychology. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, parenting, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, anger, and relationship and intimacy issues.
She trained with adults in forensic and clinical settings and later broadened her practice to include children, adolescents, and families during doctoral study. Her background includes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) work with autistic and developmentally delayed youth, and roles in schools, hospitals, group homes, prisons, and community mental health programs.
In sessions she uses several practical therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) show up alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused work. Her approach is strengths-based and she adapts techniques to each person’s needs rather than using a single rigid method.
Clients who prefer interactive, down-to-earth work will find sessions that include conversation, skill practice, and problem-solving. She has experience running anger management and parenting classes as well as substance use programs, so she brings a range of concrete tools for behavior change.
Outside of clinical work she often uses creative activities, games, and therapeutic animals as part of sessions when helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with persistent anger, avoidance, and coping with life changes by focusing on behavior that matters to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to notice and change thought patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger management, and sleep or eating concerns through structured exercises and homework between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. It can be helpful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods over time. Sessions combine discussion, skill practice, and real-world tasks so clients can test what works for them.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment work to remote sessions so clients can continue practical skill-building from wherever they join.
