About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, career struggles, and patterns like codependency and attachment issues.
Julie uses straightforward, compassionate care tailored to each person. She listens first, then helps clients name what matters and try practical steps that fit their life. Sessions tend to focus on clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and skills to manage strong feelings.
Her approach blends several therapies to match a person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered listening to make space for personal meaning. Julie also uses EMDR when trauma processing is needed and mindfulness to help ground difficult moments.
People often work with her to sort family of origin wounds, build a healthier sense of self, or manage work and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how abandonment, control issues, and body image concerns affect daily life. Julie aims to help clients move from reacting to choosing actions that reflect who they want to be.
Sessions focus on real, doable changes rather than jargon. Prospective clients who prefer a calm, honest therapeutic partnership often find this style helpful. To begin, she asks people to consider their goals and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that align with personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT breaks larger problems into specific skills and exercises to practice between sessions, which can be helpful for stress, low mood, and coping skills development.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as goals evolve. Clients are involved in choosing practical steps and homework that feel manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or caregiving commitments. It can also offer choices about using video, audio, or shorter check-ins depending on what helps a person participate consistently.
