About Julie
Julie Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in the counseling field. She practices in Oklahoma and offers help for concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and relationship stress. She also lists support for adoption-related issues and mindfulness training among her services.
Julie trained at the University of Central Oklahoma, earning a Master of Education in Community Counseling. Her career includes work in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based settings, and adoptions. Those roles gave her experience with a wide range of problems and client needs.
In sessions she uses a strengths-focused, team-oriented method. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and builds on existing skills. Conversations aim to identify what already works and add practical steps to handle current problems.
Julie combines several approaches that fit different goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on straightforward listening and reflection. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused methods to teach short-term skills.
Typical topics she addresses include self-esteem, anger, sleep trouble, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. She has particular experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family adjustments, and family-of-origin patterns. Her background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, disasters, and disruptive mood challenges.
Julie’s style is practical and direct. She helps people practice new habits, test changes between sessions, and track what improves. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Julie uses CBT and practical methods online
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then test new responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills - identifying thought patterns, practicing different reactions, and assigning small experiments between meetings. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers on listening and reflecting back what a person says. That method helps people feel understood and organize their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach breathing and attention exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus during stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. She adjusts techniques based on what helps most and on practical progress seen between sessions.
