Julianna Murphy

Julianna Murphy is a licensed counselor with six years of practice who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She focuses on building confidence, managing life changes, and improving how people cope with grief, trauma, and work pressures. Julianna aims to make the first step easier by offering steady support and practical guidance.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. Julianna listens closely and helps clients try new ways of responding to anger, worry, or low mood.

Her approach combines techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered listening. Mindfulness and some dialectical behavior ideas also shape how she teaches coping skills. These methods are used to notice triggers, shift unhelpful thinking, and practice calmer choices.

Julianna has worked with people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, workplace strain, and issues common to young adults. She also supports people facing parenting-related stress, pregnancy concerns, and seasonal mood shifts. Her practice includes work with LGBT concerns and recovery from abuse.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback and an emphasis on skills they can use between sessions. Julianna encourages people to name what matters most to them and to take gradual, workable steps toward those goals.

How therapy approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It uses short exercises and values-based goals, which can be practiced between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors through step-by-step homework and simple skill building. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience; the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s pace to help them feel understood and to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the situations where they live and work, then bring that experience back into sessions for discussion and refinement.
