Julie Thomas, LPC

Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She takes a strengths-based, client-centered approach and aims to help people manage stress and anxiety in practical ways. She emphasizes teamwork and respects each person's knowledge about their own life.

Julie earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. She has worked in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services. That variety gave her wide experience with different life challenges.

In sessions she focuses on skills people can use right away. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused planning, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. These tools are used to address things like depression, grief, trauma and sleep problems.

Julie also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, adoption-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She helps with anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her work includes helping people process loss and adjust after major transitions.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps clients identify strengths, set short-term goals, and build routines that reduce stress. Julie stays alongside clients as they try new strategies and adjust those plans over time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respect and collaboration, where the therapist listens and helps people figure out their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs support processing feelings or making decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about what matters most to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs and preferences.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose a quieter time for a shorter check-in. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to learn which session styles are offered and how they can fit into everyday life.
