About Julie

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and life transitions. Julie also supports clients navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, LGBT issues, and workplace or caregiver burnout.

Her style is person-centered and strengths-based. Sessions focus on realistic goals and tools people can use between meetings. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them build clearer communication and better coping skills.

Julie draws on several practical approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors, and Attachment-Based ideas to improve how people relate to others. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered techniques that follow the person’s priorities.

She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis response, and community therapy programs. That variety informs a calm, steady manner when addressing strong emotions or crises. Julie values helping people who are highly sensitive or neurodivergent understand themselves and communicate needs more confidently.

If a person wants practical insight into personality, she often uses Myers-Briggs style material and links to free tests to aid self-understanding. To start, a reader should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How these approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help rebuild trust and closeness in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with one approach and adding skills from another as progress unfolds.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people attend from a place that minimizes interruptions. Many clients find that learning CBT or DBT skills online lets them practice techniques during their regular routines and see how those tools fit into real life.
