About Dr. Julie Griffin
Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She completed undergraduate and master’s studies in clinical and counseling psychology at the University of Louisville, where her graduate training emphasized adult populations, forensic work, and a wide range of clinical disorders. She earned a Doctorate in Psychology from Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky, and broadened her work to include children, adolescents, and families. In addition, she is certified in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and has provided in-home services for autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens.
Her career has spanned many settings, including group homes, private practice, schools, prisons, hospitals, and community mental health programs. That breadth of experience includes work with adults and families, substance abuse treatment, anger management, family reunification, and parenting classes. She draws on extensive training in trauma work, substance abuse treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, and play therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.
Dr. Griffin practices from a strength-based, client-centered perspective, combining multiple techniques to create an individualized plan that honors each person’s goals and life circumstances. She places value on creating a welcoming environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and where therapeutic work addresses mind, body, emotional, and social factors. She has integrated animal-assisted techniques into her practice and finds that therapeutic animals often bring an intuitive, calming presence. Outside of work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and building with Legos, and she approaches clinical work with genuine curiosity and respect for each person’s story.

Approach-Focused Online Care with an Emphasis on Relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and focuses on taking values-driven action; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current bonds and emotional responses, making it helpful for family, relationship, and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment in which clients lead the pace and focus of their healing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Griffin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and practical for each person.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home, work, or on the go. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, support continuity of care across life transitions, and provide multiple ways to stay connected with a therapist as needs change.
