Julie Thomas

Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She uses mindfulness as a core part of her work and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Julie invites clients to build on strengths they already have and to set clear, doable goals for change.

She trained at the University of Central Oklahoma and has worked in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services. That range of settings gave her hands-on experience with many life challenges and caregiving situations. Julie combines that background with a calm, straightforward style that keeps sessions focused and useful.

Julie helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, mood problems, grief, trauma and sleep difficulties. She also supports parents, people dealing with relationship or family problems, and those managing life transitions. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her work blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused planning, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize small, practical steps - skills to try between meetings and ways to notice progress. Julie frames therapy as a team effort where clients' experience guides the plan.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance, gentle coaching in mindfulness, and concrete tools for managing anger, impulsivity, or low self-esteem. Julie aims to help people regain stability and make choices that fit their values and daily life.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Julie blends mindfulness practices with client-centered therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, and to build on their existing strengths. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and emotional reactivity by teaching simple attention and breathing skills.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT tends to be practical and action-focused, useful for worry, mood problems, anger, and some patterns of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions may combine mindfulness, CBT techniques, and client-centered conversation based on what seems to help.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. Online work can make it easier to practice mindfulness and CBT skills between meetings and to apply them directly in everyday routines.
