About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and individuals who want clear steps they can use day to day.
Julie works one person at a time to understand what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns in relationships, work, and family history that affect current feelings.
Background and approach
Then she helps clients try small changes to feel more in control and hopeful. Her approach mixes practical skills with room to process painful memories. Julie uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking.
She also draws on acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values when emotions are intense. For people carrying trauma, she may introduce methods that support processing traumatic memories while keeping the person grounded. Julie pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, body image concerns, and the strain of caregiver roles when these show up in sessions.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing panic, improving sleep, or handling workplace stress. Julie helps clients build coping skills, strengthen communication, and rebuild self-esteem. She aims to make progress feel tangible and realistic, week to week.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action guided by personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is helpful for panic, worry, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing traumatic memories through structured phases that can reduce the intensity of past events for some people.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose techniques to try, then adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Online delivery offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between meetings.
