About Julie
Julie Knight is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She brings a person-centered and strengths-based outlook to work involving stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, LGBTQ issues, self-esteem and intimacy-related matters.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders, career and life purpose questions, compassion fatigue, parenting and caregiving stress, and a wide range of additional focus areas such as attachment issues, aging concerns, and family of origin patterns.
Her style emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and building insight so clients can manage life changes and everyday challenges more effectively. Julie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.
She has clinical experience across inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and individual and family therapy settings, and her work often centers on fostering confidence, communication, and meaningful coping strategies. Based in California, Julie offers therapy grounded in respectful understanding of neurodiversity and a commitment to supporting LGBTQ people and their families.
Her long career in the field supports a practical, insight-oriented approach meant to help clients move toward clearer goals and healthier day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Julie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through practical skills and homework. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based living and acceptance strategies to help people cope with painful emotions while moving toward meaningful goals.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and to strengthen emotional bonds and communication. Together with clients she treats selecting the best approach as a collaborative process, assessing needs, goals, and personal preferences to shape a treatment plan that fits each person rather than prescribing a single method upfront.
Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to work on practical skills, values-driven goals, relationship patterns, and crisis coping from home or other convenient locations while allowing scheduling that accommodates busy routines.
