About Julie
Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of counseling experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and related concerns. Julie works to build on each person's strengths and to find concrete steps that fit daily life.
She earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. Her background includes outpatient counseling, school-based work, therapeutic foster care, and adoption services.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped a broad understanding of adoption-related concerns, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics. Julie uses a team-oriented, strengths-based approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert and helps identify small, doable changes.
Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, practical problem solving, and strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage mood and behavior. Parents often come for help with sleeping problems, parenting skills, communication challenges, or stress around life transitions. Julie also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, anger, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
She helps people sort priorities and try simple techniques that can make home life run smoother. In conversations she listens closely and offers tools you can try between sessions. Her aim is to help people feel more steady and capable while they work toward their goals.
Julie provides services in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online
Julie uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change what feels unmanageable. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are so they feel heard and can explore options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and daily life. That might mean trying short behavioral experiments, adding mindfulness practice, or focusing on communication skills for parenting challenges.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick coaching, scheduling, and between-session support. These options help fit therapy into busy routines while keeping the work focused on concrete, usable steps.
