About Julie
Julie Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma and recovery, and a range of mental health concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, addiction, grief, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Julie approaches counseling from a perspective that values each person's story and strengths. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and narrative methods to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical shifts in behavior. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings to test what works in daily life.
Her background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma and sexual assault, and with those managing mood conditions and substance concerns. She mentions experience supporting LGBTQ individuals and says she is comfortable with people who hold religious or nonreligious worldviews. This informs how she listens and plans therapy together with each person.
In sessions Julie talks through specific problems, helps recognize patterns, and works on concrete coping skills. She combines short-term goal-focused techniques with reflection about personal history when that helps a client understand recurring themes. Work can include practical tools for stress, strategies for managing mood, and ways to improve communication.
People who choose Julie can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. She asks about what is happening now and what a person wants to change. From there she suggests methods to try, checks how they go, and adjusts the plan over time.
How CBT and person-focused methods are used in online sessions
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that get in the way. CBT work usually means setting clear goals, trying small experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to see what helps with anxiety, mood, or stress.She also draws on client-centered and narrative approaches. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and building on a person’s strengths while narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories can be revised to reduce shame or stuck patterns. These approaches can help with trauma recovery, identity concerns, and relationship problems.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Julie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend methods to start with. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan with the client’s input.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving responsibilities.
