Julie Wiggins

Julie Wiggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eleven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and tailors each visit to practical goals. Her style aims to be direct and compassionate so people can feel heard and take next steps.

Julie blends practical tools with reflective conversation. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also draws from EMDR and mindfulness approaches when trauma or intense distress is present.

Her practice supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting concerns, body image worries, and mood disorders such as postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder. She also helps those facing fertility or blended family issues, divorce, and challenges tied to family of origin.

Sessions focus on clear skill-building and realistic planning. That might mean practicing new ways to communicate, testing small behavior changes, or learning grounding and mindfulness techniques for big emotions. Julie works with clients on career and money stress as well as questions about life purpose and identity.

People who prefer a collaborative process will find her approach straightforward and practical. She aims to create a space where clients can make concrete changes while also processing deeper hurts. Julie practices in Indiana and holds an LCSW license.

How these approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps build trust and clarifies goals so sessions feel relevant to daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be used between sessions to track progress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to work with traumatic memories and intense emotional responses when those issues are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process usually begins with a short conversation about what is most pressing and what methods feel comfortable to the client.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when life feels hectic. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, such as using mindfulness during a stressful moment or testing communication strategies between partners. Talk with the therapist about which structure and pacing will work best for your situation.
