Julie Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years in the counseling field. She draws on long experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self esteem concerns. Her work also covers relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.
She earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. Over the years she has provided care in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based settings, and adoption services. Those roles gave her familiarity with adoption-related issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and family-of-origin problems.
Julie uses a strengths-based, team-oriented style. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on what already works. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused plans, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She aims to help people reduce anxiety, manage anger, improve sleep, and regain a sense of control after loss or trauma.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and supportive guidance. Julie emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To start, she guides people through a short matching process and helps schedule sessions that fit their routines.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and following the client's lead. It helps when people need a supportive space to talk through feelings and clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for a while, adding mindfulness exercises, or using a strengths-based conversation to set small goals; adjustments happen together as needed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen and bring real-life examples into sessions for immediate feedback. Licensed professionals guide the process and help adapt techniques so they work well over distance.
