About Julie

Julie Christman is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients process difficult experiences, address addiction and relationship challenges, and rebuild confidence after loss or upheaval. Julie emphasizes individualized care, listening closely to each person's history and concerns to tailor an approach that fits their needs.

Her work helps clients strengthen communication, manage anger and intimacy-related problems, and navigate career or family stressors while attending to issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, and caregiver burden. Julie integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered techniques, existential perspectives, and EMDR when appropriate.

The aim is to promote self-understanding, resilience, and concrete coping tools so clients can make meaningful, sustainable changes in daily life.

How evidence-informed therapies translate to online care

Julie integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into online sessions to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build concrete coping skills, and clarify personal values. CBT focuses on practical strategies for changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions aligned with what matters most to the individual.

She also draws on client-centered principles, which prioritize empathic listening and collaboration to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and supported. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she will work together with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to engage in regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and receive consistent support while accommodating work, family, and geographic constraints.
