About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. Julie also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress.
She uses straightforward talk and active strategies to help people notice what keeps problems going. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, testing small changes, and building simple skills to manage intense feelings. The work is practical and step-by-step rather than abstract or vague.
Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to clarify values and actions. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on the client's concerns, and incorporates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. These approaches are applied depending on what the person wants to work on.
In appointments she helps people identify triggers, practice new responses, and track whether changes are helping. She pays attention to communication problems, commitment issues, and family of origin patterns that affect daily life. The focus can shift between short-term coping and deeper work on long-standing wounds.
Sessions are in English and follow a clear plan set with the client. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the online matching steps to schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, experimenting with behavior changes, and reviewing what works best. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and build committed actions even when uncomfortable feelings remain; this helps when life changes or avoidance are the main problems.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She works with clients to decide whether CBT, ACT, client-centered work, or trauma-focused EMDR techniques fit the presenting issues and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
This therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that do not always require video. Julie uses her stated clinical methods to structure sessions so practical skills and real-life experiments can be planned between meetings and reviewed during follow-ups.
