About Julie
Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and career-related distress.
Julie works with adults who are juggling difficult emotions at home or at work. She talks through specific problems and helps people develop practical ways to manage symptoms and daily strain. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to build small skills that make daily life easier.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and EMDR. She uses those methods to address traumatic memories, unhelpful thinking patterns, and struggles around attachment and abandonment.
Julie often focuses on communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and relationship patterns that repeat over time. She also supports people facing body image concerns, guilt and shame, or a sense of emptiness after major life changes.
In sessions she moves between gentle inquiry and concrete skill-building. That can mean learning new ways to name emotions, practicing different responses to conflict, or doing guided exercises aimed at processing past events. The emphasis is on usable tools people can try between appointments.
To start, people pick a time and complete a brief questionnaire that helps match goals and practical needs before the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck after life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity; it is used when past events continue to cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and how a method might fit daily life. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress to better match what helps most.
The therapist's specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use audio-only options when they prefer not to be on camera or choose a simpler setup with lower bandwidth.
