About Julie
Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family concerns, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT matters and gender dysphoria. She also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, parenting strain, ADHD, and mood disorders.
Julie draws on straightforward, person-centered methods that focus on strengths and clear goals. Sessions emphasize understanding how your early family patterns and attachment style shape today’s choices and reactions. She helps people notice recurring roles and expectations learned in childhood and develop different ways of relating and communicating in adulthood.
Her approach mixes practical skills with reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provide tools for managing distressing thoughts and unwanted behavior. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to relationship patterns that run beneath surface conflicts.
Julie also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to build coping skills and emotional regulation. She offers guidance for people who identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent, helping them understand personality traits and how these affect daily life and relationships.
Her background includes long experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and crisis response, plus years offering individual therapy. To begin with Julie, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on clarifying values to guide action. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes when people want practical steps linked to what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns play out now; it helps people understand repeated reactions in adult relationships and change habitual responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying approaches, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use these practical arrangements to keep sessions focused on skill building, communication practice, and addressing family-of-origin patterns without requiring major schedule changes.
