About Julian
Julian Laverde is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and lists young adult issues among his practice areas. Julian works with adults navigating transitions and intense emotions common in early adulthood.
His approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions aim to make space for honest conversation about what is happening now. Julian listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding. He emphasizes clear steps and small changes that make daily life easier.
Julian often addresses related concerns such as body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and workplace stress. He also supports people dealing with impulsivity, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. The work can include talking through past hurts and building new ways to manage difficult feelings.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. He explains options and helps each person choose what fits their needs and goals. Julian encourages practical skills people can use between sessions to reduce distress and build steadier routines.
People usually come for help with a specific problem or a period of transition. Julian aims to make the early steps clear: identify what matters, try practical changes, and track progress over time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Julian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different ways of thinking and acting. These methods help with anxiety, low mood, and social worry by teaching practical tools to change reactions. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past events affect day-to-day feelings and behavior and include grounding and pacing to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. He will review options with each person and pick techniques based on goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work or classes, and let someone meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are located in the therapist's licensed area. Sessions still focus on practical skills and tracking small changes over time.
