Julie Otis, LCSW

Julie Otis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, anger, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps those dealing with ADHD and related patterns such as attachment issues and codependency.

Julie keeps sessions direct and practical. She asks clear questions and gives honest feedback instead of only offering reassurance. That approach is meant to help people see recurring patterns, test new behaviors, and practice different ways of relating to others.

Her work often focuses on how past attachments shape current relationships. She helps people understand how their responses developed and what shows up now. From there she guides skills for managing strong emotions and for changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Julie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and emotion regulation. She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered approaches to help people notice feelings and make choices that fit their values.

Sessions move at a steady pace with direct feedback and practical exercises. People can expect conversations about boundaries, communication habits, and handling anxiety or addictive urges. Julie aims to help clients build more reliable reactions and clearer ways of getting their needs met.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Indiana and ongoing work with trauma, personality concerns, and relationship difficulties. She works in English and does not take international clients.
