About Julie

Julie Wiggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. Her profile also notes a focus on guilt and shame alongside body image, forgiveness, and blended family or fertility issues.

In sessions she uses several practical approaches to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and build understanding. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness.

When trauma is part of the picture she includes techniques that address traumatic memories, and she uses motivational interviewing to support people who are weighing change. Her way of working centers on collaboration - deciding together which tools to try and when to adjust the plan.

People often come with mixed concerns such as relationship strain and parenting stress, or grief mixed with shame. She helps people sort through those linked problems rather than treating each in isolation. Sessions involve talking through current patterns, practicing concrete skills, and tracking small changes over time.

Her practice is grounded in clinical experience across a range of life stages and transitions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work starts with listening and reflecting. It focuses on what matters to the client and on building a clear plan together. This approach helps when guilt or shame feels tangled with relationships or parenting roles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses using worksheets or in-session exercises. EMDR is used for trauma-related memories and involves structured processing that some therapists adapt for remote sessions when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that seem fitting, and check in to adjust the plan. That collaborative decision-making helps match methods to the client's needs and comfort.
