About Julie
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 18 years of experience. She holds a doctorate in psychology and a master's in clinical/counseling psychology, and her work has included adults and a wide range of clinical settings. Dr. Griffin lists young adult issues among her areas of focus, along with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
She trained in settings that included group homes, schools, hospitals, prisons, and community mental health programs. That background led to work in substance abuse treatment, anger management, family reunification, and parenting classes. Earlier in her career she completed training in Applied Behavior Analysis and worked with autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens.
In sessions she uses evidence-based techniques and draws from different approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and attachment-focused methods. She aims to help people speak openly about thoughts and feelings and to develop practical ways to manage symptoms and daily challenges. The focus is often on improving communication, emotion regulation, and coping with life changes.
Dr. Griffin also has extensive training in trauma and substance abuse interventions and has used therapeutic animals in some work settings. Outside of clinical work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and Legos, and mentions animals as a meaningful part of her life and practice.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking manageable actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections and intimacy issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time based on what is helpful. That means sessions can shift between skill building, exploring relationship patterns, and practical problem solving as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or other commitments. They may allow shorter check-ins, meeting when travel would be difficult, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT, CBT, and attachment work to a remote setting so the focus stays on practical steps and real-world changes.
