About Julie
Julie Alexander is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She works with adults dealing with addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. Her first aim is practical support that feels doable during a hard day.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. Julie adjusts the pace and focus based on the client's needs, not a one-size approach. Sessions are goal-oriented and rooted in everyday skills people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes eight years of clinical work in Pennsylvania as an LPC, which informs how she structures care. That experience means she has worked with issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, mood struggles, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps people navigate career stress, isolation, and family of origin concerns.
Julie draws on a mix of approaches to help clients build coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. She often brings in mindfulness practices to calm intense moments and cognitive strategies to shift thinking that fuels anxiety. Motivational techniques support people who want to change substance use or other impulsive behaviors.
In sessions she aims to be respectful and direct. The conversation stays focused on what the client needs now and what small steps feel possible. Julie sees therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and goals.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to talk and decide goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crises, which can be useful for impulsivity and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.
Online formats offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or handle brief updates without arranging a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and busy days.
