Julie Christman, LPC

Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. Julie focuses on practical ways to manage day-to-day strain and build steady coping skills.

She works with individuals who are dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and various forms of loss. Julie also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.

Julie blends several therapeutic methods to meet people where they are. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered and Existential perspectives to support exploration of meaning and personal choice.

For those coping with trauma or past wounds, Julie includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions emphasize small, manageable steps such as practicing new communication habits, building routines that reduce overwhelm, and developing tools to handle flashbacks or intense emotions.

The work in her room is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Julie aims to help clients find clearer direction, greater self-compassion, and practical strategies they can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT can be useful when anxiety or stress stops someone from doing things that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is focused on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Julie also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build understanding and confidence. Together the client and therapist decide which approach, or mix of approaches, will best fit the goals and personality of the person seeking help. Finding the right method is part of the work, and choices are adjusted over time based on feedback and progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Julie will help make sessions fit daily life by focusing on practical advantages such as easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and methods that translate well to a remote setting.
