About Julie
Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She uses a strengths-based, team approach that centers the client's voice. She respects each person's knowledge of their own life and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions.
Julie helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and sleep problems. She also supports people facing relationship concerns, parenting strain, adoption-related issues, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services in Oklahoma. Her style mixes client-centered listening with tools that change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Julie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods to create short-term goals and clear next steps.
She also offers mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, improving communication, and developing routines that reduce overwhelm. For people juggling many demands, she offers straightforward strategies for managing anger, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps people work through attachment questions and blended family dynamics. Julie works with adults on concerns such as bipolar mood management, ADHD-related challenges, and low self-esteem. Her goal is to collaborate with each person to build skills that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Julie combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices during online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can discover their own solutions; it helps with low self-esteem, relationship strain, and decision-making. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to create concrete experiments and new habits for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She often blends approaches and adjusts them over time based on what helps most in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support quick reflections, step-by-step coaching, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
