Julie Wiggins

Julie Wiggins is an LCSW in Indiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Julie also helps people facing relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, career doubts, and questions about life purpose.

She draws on client-centered methods to focus on what the person brings to each session. Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. She also works with EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Julie listens to what matters to the client, then suggests small, doable steps to test between sessions. She uses reflective questions and skill-building exercises to help people manage emotions and make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and parenting.

Her background includes a range of settings over more than a decade, giving her experience with mood disorders, postpartum concerns, fertility-related distress, and blended family issues. She has worked with people dealing with shame, guilt, body image, and money stress.

People who are unsure what comes next often begin by naming one specific problem. Julie helps them break that issue into manageable parts so they can try practical changes and notice what works. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s goals.

How Julie’s methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. Online sessions using this approach are conversational and start from the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes short exercises and homework that can fit into everyday life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma-related symptoms by pairing focused memory work with bilateral stimulation; when used online the therapist will explain the steps and adapt exercises to the virtual setting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or another method is most appropriate. That decision is based on the client’s goals, current concerns, and what feels manageable in session.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule around work or childcare, and allow brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit would be difficult. The therapist will work with the client to make sessions practical and to set goals that can be practiced between meetings.
