About Julianna
Julianna Murphy is an Illinois-licensed clinician - LCPC and LMHC - with six years of professional experience supporting adults. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and the pressures common in early adulthood. She also helps people facing grief, trauma, ADHD, mood challenges, and workplace or school stress.
Julianna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps clients name the problems that matter most. Conversations often focus on building daily routines, managing intense emotions, and finding small steps that reduce overwhelm. She uses evidence-based tools to practice new habits between meetings.
Her background includes a mix of approaches: acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. That blend helps people manage panic, confront negative self-talk, and build better coping for exams, job stress, or relationship changes.
Julianna pays attention to life transitions common in young adulthood. She supports people handling leaving home, starting work, changing studies, and the identity or relationship shifts that follow. Sessions tend to be goal-focused and action-oriented while staying conversational.
People who meet with her can expect clear explanations of the methods used and homework that fits daily life. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and reviewed as progress happens. She practices in Illinois and meets with English-speaking adults who are 18 and older.
How Julianna uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It focuses on identifying values and taking small steps that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches often help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress related to school or work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julianna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their needs. She checks in about what helps and adjusts strategies over time so the plan stays relevant and usable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions around classes, shifts, or commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed and let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises in real life between meetings.
