About Julie
Julie Thomas is an LPC with 25 years of experience who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a collaborative, strengths-based stance to help clients move forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and related concerns.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based settings, and adoption services, which contributes to a broad perspective on emotional and relational challenges.
Julie emphasizes a team approach that recognizes the client as the expert on their own life, and she supports people in building on existing strengths to manage anger, improve self-esteem, navigate parenting and relationship difficulties, and cope with life transitions.
She also has experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption, attachment, blended families, and family-of-origin patterns. Julie practices from Oklahoma and offers services in English as an LPC licensed in Oklahoma and Arizona.
Her style integrates solution-focused strategies and hypnotherapy when appropriate, always aiming to match techniques to each person’s goals so clients can develop sustainable coping skills and clearer direction.
Approaches and online options for skill-based growth
Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress, while client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration to help people clarify goals and build on their strengths.She also uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms. Together these approaches are used flexibly so that the therapeutic plan reflects what matters most to each person. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals rather than prescribing a single route up front.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access care from Oklahoma without needing in-person visits, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skills, goal setting, and ongoing support in ways that suit a client’s life and availability.
