Julie Knight

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in California with three decades of work in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and challenges around identity and self-worth. Julie also supports people navigating career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder.

Her style is person-centered and strengths-focused. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer self-understanding. She introduces mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas alongside cognitive and attachment-focused work. Julie encourages clients to notice what matters to them and to take small steps toward those values.

Julie has broad experience across inpatient, crisis response, and outpatient settings. She draws on 30 years in the field to tailor tools to each person’s needs. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques for thinking patterns, ACT exercises for values-focused action, or attachment-informed conversation to improve close relationships.

She has a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ people through identity questions, family conversations, and building healthier self-esteem. Julie also works with people who identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent, helping them understand their traits and find communication strategies that fit their lives.

Practical work in sessions includes personality and typology exploration, skill practice, and goal setting. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It teaches simple awareness skills that reduce reactivity and support clearer choices in stressful moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small moves toward them, even when hard feelings are present. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions to help people live in ways that feel meaningful. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection shapes current trust and communication. It helps people understand and change how they relate to partners, family members, and significant others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming one path fits everyone.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during life changes. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that focus on skills practice and reflection between appointments.
