About Julianna
Julianna Murphy is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She brings six years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach to sessions. Julianna aims to make it easier for people to talk about difficult feelings and take the next step toward feeling better.
She focuses on practical skills clients can use day to day. That can mean breaking stressful cycles, building confidence, or finding steadier routines during life changes.
Background and approach
Julianna pays attention to how relationships and family dynamics affect mood and coping. In sessions she keeps the pace collaborative and down to earth. Conversations are judgment-free and centered on the client's goals.
She listens first, then helps people try new ways of thinking and acting that fit their lives. Julianna draws from methods such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-focused practices, mindfulness, and client-centered care. She blends tools to match what each person needs rather than following one fixed plan.
Together clients and Julianna set small, clear steps to try between sessions. She works with people facing challenges including mood shifts, trauma and grief, relationship strain, workplace stress, and questions about identity. Julianna also supports those dealing with panic attacks, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and seasonal mood changes.
Her practice is located in Illinois and sessions are offered in English.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood. It tends to include concrete exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they adjust techniques over time so sessions feel useful and relevant to the client's daily life.
Online formats make this work flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversational flow. Phone sessions can be easier when a quick check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for short, frequent exchanges and on-the-spot skill coaching. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
