About Julie

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience in mental health. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. She also supports those wrestling with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and career questions.

Her background includes work on inpatient psychiatric units and in crisis response programs, plus many years providing individual and family therapy. Julie describes her approach as person-centered, strengths-based, and goal oriented. She focuses on practical steps that people can use right away to feel steadier.

Julie has a long-standing interest in LGBTQ clients, including people navigating coming out, relationship strains, and building confidence in unsupportive environments. She also enjoys helping family members learn how to offer better support. She welcomes conversations about gender dysphoria and related challenges.

She pays special attention to Highly Sensitive People and to neurodivergent ways of thinking. Julie encourages clients to understand and honor their temperament rather than viewing it as a flaw. She often uses personality typing tools, like Myers-Briggs frameworks, to boost self-understanding and improve communication.

In sessions Julie helps people gain clearer insight into patterns, try concrete coping tools, and set achievable goals. She invites prospective clients to consider whether her style fits their needs and to begin the matching process through the site.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change mood and functioning; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, helping people improve closeness and manage conflicts.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends tools so the plan makes sense for everyday life and the problems someone brings to sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Because specific session formats are not listed in her biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend when work, caregiving, or travel make in-person visits difficult, and they let people try tools and check progress from their daily routine.
