About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical guidance. Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, and problems at work or in relationships.
She aims to make therapy simple and real. Sessions focus on clear goals and workable steps that fit a person's life.
Background and approach
Julie uses a mix of approaches to help people understand their emotions and try new habits. Julie pays close attention to attachment and family of origin issues. She also helps with abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, and caregiving stress.
Her approach addresses both the past and the current routines that maintain pain. When trauma is involved, she integrates methods that support processing painful memories and reducing their hold. For day-to-day problems she leans on strategies that change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
The result is a blend of insight and action that people can use between sessions. Julie works in a direct but compassionate style. She encourages honest conversation and practical experiments.
The goal is clearer self-understanding, better communication, and stronger coping skills that make daily life easier.
Therapeutic Approaches and What Online Work Looks Like
Julie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on what matters rather than trying to eliminate all unpleasant feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with depression, anxiety, and work-related stress. When trauma is a central issue, she may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support processing painful memories and reduce intense reactions.
Choosing the right 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 decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier with low bandwidth, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
