About Julie
Julie Butler is an Iowa LMHC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD, and life changes. Julie also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and practical steps to change it. Julie draws on Client-Centered ideas to focus on the person's perspective, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to test new ways of thinking and behaving. The Gottman Method informs her work around relationship patterns and communication.
Sessions are paced to fit the client's goals. Julie helps people break big problems into small, achievable steps. She offers motivational interviewing when readiness for change is mixed or unsure, and she combines approaches to suit the issue at hand.
Her background includes a decade of work across behavioral health settings. That experience includes individual and group work and a range of concerns from mood disorders to addiction and family stress. Clients can expect clear explanations of methods and practical homework when it will help.
Julie accepts clients who prefer English and is open to working with people inside and outside the United States. She is based in Iowa and practices as an LMHC. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and reflecting it back without judgment. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood so they can decide what to try next.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT gives concrete techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking that fuels anxiety, depression or low self-esteem.
The Gottman Method addresses relationship patterns and communication. It teaches specific ways to reduce conflict and increase positive interaction for people working on partnerships and connection.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few methods, and adjust as needs become clearer. This makes it easier to find what feels useful rather than committing to one path up front.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a young adult routine - for example shorter check-ins around a class or work break, or sessions that avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals offering online sessions can also adapt exercises and homework to everyday settings so the work connects to real life.
