Julie Thomas, LPC

Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years in the counseling field. She greets clients with a warm, strengths-based style and focuses on practical ways to manage thoughts and everyday habits. Her approach emphasizes listening first and helping people build on what already works for them.

She earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. Over the years she has worked in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based settings, and adoption services. That variety gave her experience with many common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Julie helps people address parenting challenges, adoption-related questions, and relationship concerns using clear, step-by-step strategies. She also supports those coping with major life changes, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, and anger or impulse issues. Attention-related concerns such as ADHD and mood disorders like bipolar appear among her focus areas.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and draws on mindfulness, cognitive approaches, and solution-focused techniques to make progress. Hypnotherapy can also be part of her toolbox when appropriate.

Julie aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Sessions typically focus on small, manageable changes to daily thoughts and habits that can add up to real improvement over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on each person's strengths. It helps people feel heard and supported while they try new habits or face transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness practices alongside cognitive strategies or using solution-focused techniques for a specific worry or decision.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit is not possible. Some people prefer sessions that emphasize talk and planning, while others like short exercises to practice between meetings. The therapist will help tailor the rhythm and methods to match everyday life and goals.
