About Billie
Billie Joiner is an LMHC and an LCPC licensed in Indiana with 15 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and career or parenting strain.
She frames the client as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits that get in the way, trying small experiments, and picking practical steps that feel doable. Billie uses clear, structured techniques alongside conversational listening to keep work focused and actionable.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods, with tools from Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy as needed. That mix is used to set goals, test beliefs, and find workable changes rather than only talking about problems.
With experience across a wide range of concerns, she helps people manage chronic illness and caregiver stress, attachment issues, anger, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She also supports people dealing with divorce, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and aging-related questions.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and break larger goals into manageable steps. Practical homework and brief behavioral experiments are common. The emphasis is on useful strategies that fit everyday life and on adjusting plans based on what actually helps.
How CBT and collaborative approaches are used online
Billie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include clear goals, simple behavioral experiments, and short between-session practice to see what changes behavior and mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and let the person set priorities, and Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change when motivation feels stuck. Client-Centered work focuses on understanding what matters most, while Motivational Interviewing helps move from mixed feelings to clearer steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Billie will discuss options and help decide whether CBT, client-centered conversations, or motivational strategies best match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time based on progress.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so work can fit around caregiving or work commitments. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
