About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of experience based in Indiana. She trained in clinical and counseling psychology and completed a doctorate in psychology, bringing a long clinical history to the work. She draws on many practical techniques to help people sort through stress, sleep problems, mood changes, and relationship struggles.
Her background includes work in schools, hospitals, prisons, group homes, and community mental health settings. She has experience with substance abuse programs, anger management, parenting and family reunification classes, and applied behavior analysis in home settings. That range informs how she approaches everyday problems in therapy.
In sessions she uses a strength-based stance and adapts methods to each person’s needs. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment-focused and acceptance-oriented approaches. The goal is to help people manage emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and build routines that support better sleep and day-to-day functioning.
Julie keeps things practical and straightforward. She often uses play, creative activities, and, when appropriate, therapeutic animals to help people express themselves and reduce stress. Parents will find a direct, down-to-earth style that focuses on workable steps.
She encourages people to take small steps toward balance between mind, body, and social life. The focus is on what someone can do now to feel steadier, sleep better, and cope with life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often focuses on living in ways that matter despite stress or worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete strategies to adjust unhelpful patterns that can disrupt sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotions and coping, useful for intimacy, family conflict, and feeling safe enough to rest.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques that fit the client’s needs and daily life, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use tools and exercises at home between meetings to practice better sleep habits and coping skills.
