About Julie
Julie Wiggins is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience. She offers a warm, collaborative approach that centers on each person's goals and motivation for change. Julie listens first, then partners with people to build clear, manageable steps forward.
She blends Motivational Interviewing with client-centered methods to help people find what matters to them and strengthen commitment to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. For people who have experienced trauma, she may integrate EMDR-informed ideas and mindfulness practices to reduce distress.
Julie works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people facing relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, body image concerns, and issues around identity and LGBT matters. Career questions, money stress, and questions about life purpose are part of her focus as well.
Sessions address practical problems and daily routines as well as deeper feelings. Julie helps people set short-term goals, try new behaviors, and track progress over time. She aims for straightforward, doable plans rather than vague advice.
Julie practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. Her LCSW credential is presented as Licensed Clinical Social Worker. To begin, she asks new clients to share what they hope to change so sessions can focus on meaningful steps.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Julie often uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to act. This approach is conversational and goal-focused, so it fits well into short check-ins and step-by-step planning. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation, meaning sessions begin with listening and reflecting to make sure the work follows the client’s priorities.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and practice new coping skills. CBT gives concrete exercises and small experiments people can try between sessions to track what helps. These methods together support both quick problem-solving and longer-term change depending on each person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That may mean focusing on motivation first, then adding skills work or trauma-focused practices as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel logistics, or arranging sessions when childcare or work schedules allow. Licensed professionals tailor timing and tools so therapy fits into everyday routines. -
