About Julie

Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and family of origin issues. She also addresses adoption-related concerns and adjustment difficulties.

Julie trained with a master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma. Her career has included outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based roles, and adoption services. Those settings gave her experience with a wide range of life challenges and family dynamics.

In sessions she follows a client-centered, strengths-based approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Work in therapy often includes identifying existing strengths, setting practical goals, and trying small changes between sessions.

Julie uses several clinical methods to support that work, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. These tools are used to address thinking patterns, stress responses, and everyday coping skills.

People who come to her for family of origin issues often talk through recurring patterns, expectations, and communication habits from their upbringing. Sessions may include looking at how those patterns show up now and trying different ways of responding. Julie also brings experience in adoption and attachment-related topics when relevant to a client’s concerns.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's perspective. It helps people clarify their goals and feel understood while they decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices. It can be used to reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process helps fit the approach to what the person needs and wants.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is not practical. Discussing scheduling needs during the intake helps shape session length and frequency to everyday life.
