About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life changes. Julie also addresses addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.
Julie focuses on helping people understand their patterns and find concrete ways to cope. She uses clear, practical conversation to address problems like attachment issues, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. Sessions also cover body image, caregiver stress, and challenges related to autism and Asperger syndrome.
Her style uses several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Julie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to prioritize each person's perspective, and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.
In sessions she will talk through recent events, practice skills, and set small, manageable goals people can try between meetings. Julie aims to help people make measurable changes in coping, relationships, and daily routines. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.
People often come with practical problems - work stress, starting or ending relationships, or feeling behind in life. Julie helps them map next steps and build routines that fit their responsibilities and schedules.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, value-based actions even when feelings are hard. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and decisions about work or relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments and practical homework between sessions. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and mood changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that guides people to process upsetting memories in a paced way; it is often used when past events continue to cause intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options and help decide which methods make sense for a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to fit around school, work, and caregiving. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical skills, track small changes, and assign focused practice that fits into everyday life.
