About Julie

Dr. Julie Griffin brings 18 years of clinical practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana.

Background and approach

She trained in clinical and counseling psychology, earning a master’s degree focused on adult and forensic issues and later completing a Doctorate in Psychology that expanded her work with children, adolescents, and families.

Her background includes Applied Behavior Analysis experience in-home with autistic and developmentally delayed youth and roles across settings such as group homes, schools, hospitals, prisons, and community mental health programs. Dr.

Griffin uses a strengths-based orientation and combines a range of evidence-informed techniques to fit each person’s needs. Her work spans common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, substance use, grief, parenting and behavioral challenges.

She has additional focus on attachment issues, adoption and foster care, communication difficulties, and body image among other areas. Clients can expect an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings are welcomed and treatment plans are tailored to practical goals.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, Legos, and animals, and has integrated therapeutic animals into practice when appropriate. She encourages those ready to take the first step to reach out and begin the matching and scheduling process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn practical skills to act toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns through structured, goal-oriented work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and interaction patterns, which can be especially useful for relationship and attachment-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Griffin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback, inviting clients to participate in planning treatment steps.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, maintain continuity during life changes, and integrate short check-ins or longer sessions as needed, while keeping work focused on practical strategies and emotional growth.
