About Julie

Julie Prudom is a licensed professional counselor with three decades of practice rooted in Wisconsin.

Background and approach

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master’s in Professional Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, and she brings long experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, trauma, and other life disruptions.

Her work emphasizes practical tools and collaborative planning to help clients move toward clearer thinking and healthier coping. Her style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, focused on creating a welcoming atmosphere where clients can explore difficult topics at their own pace.

Julie integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness strategies to support insight, symptom relief, and skills development. She also draws from solution-focused and trauma-informed perspectives when addressing issues like self-esteem, parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with chronic illness.

Julie aims to help people build confidence and balance while navigating change. She frames therapy as a partnership, offering guidance and evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify goals, try new strategies, and track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Julie integrates cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; these practical steps are useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the individual's perspective, offering empathic listening and support to help clients clarify goals and feel heard. Mindfulness-based strategies are incorporated to build present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress or difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs rather than following a fixed protocol.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations, while allowing different formats for skills practice, check-ins, and deeper conversations with a licensed professional.
