Julie Thomas

Julie Thomas is an LPC with 25 years of experience who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses simple, straightforward language and listens first. Her approach centers on each person's strengths and goals, and she works alongside clients rather than telling them what to do.

She trained at the University of Central Oklahoma and has worked in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services. That range of settings gave her experience with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods and solution-focused work to set clear, achievable steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thoughts, improve sleep, and reduce stress. Hypnotherapy may be offered as an additional tool when appropriate.

Julie has supported people through adoption-related issues, attachment concerns, blended family difficulties, and challenges that come from major life changes. She also lists intellectual disability among the issues she focuses on and addresses topics such as anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is strengths-based and collaborative. Clients can expect straightforward feedback, practical skills to use between sessions, and a focus on small changes that add up. To begin, she asks clients to identify goals so work stays focused and measurable.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy trusts the person in the room as the expert on their life. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and offers practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works in real life.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual work helps them practice skills between meetings and keep momentum while managing everyday responsibilities.
