About Julie
Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She takes a strengths-based, team approach and helps people build on what already works for them. She listens, reflects, and offers practical steps so people can move forward from stress, grief, anxiety, and life changes.
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 counseling, and adoption services. Those experiences gave her a broad view of common challenges and real-life solutions.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral work and solution-focused thinking. She also uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when they fit the person’s goals. The focus is on clear, doable strategies rather than abstract theory.
People come to her for many concerns, including depression, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family problems, and grief.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She asks about what matters most, helps set reachable goals, and tracks small changes. Sessions emphasize skills you can try between visits and adjustments based on what actually helps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients clarify goals and priorities, which can work well in regular remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy trains short practices to calm the mind and notice patterns, and it pairs easily with remote check-ins and between-session exercises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and recommend tools that fit. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins or brief skill reviews when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to the client’s routine so therapy supports real changes without disrupting daily responsibilities.
