Julie Wiggins, LCSW

Julie Wiggins is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach. She combines practical strategies with a supportive, person-focused style to help people facing emotional and life challenges. Julie aims to make therapy clear and usable so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Julie helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports those navigating relationship strain, parenting pressures, family conflict, and career or life-purpose questions. Her list of focus areas includes postpartum mood changes, ADHD concerns, body image, and fertility or pregnancy-related stress.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with structured tools from CBT and trauma work. That means she listens first, then offers exercises, thought work, and step-by-step plans clients can practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when trauma processing is appropriate and wanted.

Her style is direct but warm. She aims to help people lower overwhelming feelings and build real skills for daily life. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when someone needs help staying focused on goals or learning to notice unhelpful patterns.

Julie works with adults in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort. Getting started involves a brief questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How CBT, EMDR, and Client-Centered Work Translate to Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through practical exercises and short assignments. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns by giving concrete tools people can practice between sessions.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can support processing distressing memories when a person is ready to do that work. In online sessions EMDR can be adapted with guided attention techniques and careful pacing to match the client’s needs.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s experience. It creates a collaborative space where the therapist guides rather than directs, helping people feel heard while exploring goals and next steps.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, comfort level, and what seems to help in early sessions. That collaborative process makes adjustments straightforward if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps communication, phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter updates, and text sessions can support those who prefer writing to speaking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family obligations, and daily life.
