About Julie
Julie Thomas is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleeping difficulties. She uses straightforward, practical methods and works together with clients to build on existing strengths.
She trained at the University of Central Oklahoma and earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling. Over the years she has worked in outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services. Those roles exposed her to many different life situations and challenges.
In the counseling room she follows a strengths-based, team-oriented approach. She treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them use skills they already have. Sessions include practical tools for mood, sleep, parenting, and relationship concerns.
Her clinical work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused techniques. These tools are used to address issues such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting strain, family-of-origin problems, and compassion fatigue.
She also offers support for adoption- and foster-related issues, attachment concerns, blended family struggles, and communication problems. Julie emphasizes steady, doable steps so people can notice real changes in daily life.
Julie practices in Oklahoma and provides care in English. She aims to make sessions clear, calm, and focused on what each person wants to change next.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and following each person's concerns. It focuses on understanding what matters most to the client and building on existing strengths to improve mood, sleep, and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that affect anxiety, depression, and sleep. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve rest over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats this as a shared process and will discuss what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the plan fits the person's needs and daily routine.
