About Julie
Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with three decades of clinical experience. She works with adults and couples who are navigating addiction, trauma, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Julie emphasizes a respectful, collaborative stance that recognizes each client as the expert on their own life while offering structure and evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered support and trauma-informed methods such as EMDR when appropriate.
Julie helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and process past wounds so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience. She encourages small, practical steps toward self-care and healthier relationships while honoring individual histories and strengths.
Approaches and Online Care for Trauma and Stress
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for coping, problem solving, and behavior change.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and strengthening motivation for change.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be used when past events continue to affect current functioning and relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with clients to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and tailor a combination of methods that fit each person's situation. Together they determine what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different session types, and access licensed professionals from home or work without changing the therapeutic focus.
