Background and approach
Julia became an LPC in 1994 and later added an LPC supervisor credential. Over a long career she provided direct clinical care and also supervised other clinicians. Julia has worked in crisis intervention and trauma-focused therapy and has experience with veterans and first responder issues.
She has also supported people facing addiction, depression, relationship problems, and parenting stress. More recently she has worked with people transitioning out of federal prison into halfway house settings. In sessions she blends practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with solution-focused strategies.
That means clients can expect concrete tools to manage symptoms, short-term coping plans, and space to process difficult experiences when needed. Julia emphasizes small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach is collaborative.
She listens for each person’s goals and adjusts the work to match what is most helpful. Julia practices in Mississippi and speaks English.
How Julia’s Approaches Work Online
Julia uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to help people manage distressing thoughts, behaviors, and memories. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful events in a paced way so those memories have less impact on daily life.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness can help when stress or panic feels overwhelming by offering short exercises to ground attention in the present moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to each person's goals and tries strategies together, adjusting methods based on what feels helpful. Clients and therapist set priorities and choose tools that fit the client’s needs and daily routine.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer talks and skill practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping continuity of care.
