Julie Propst , LMFT

Julie Propst is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping individuals and couples who are affected by addictions, trauma, abuse, and mental illness, drawing on long-term clinical work to offer steady, experienced support.

Julie works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own life story. She partners with clients to sort through barriers and past trauma, highlight existing strengths, and develop practical strategies to address problems that interfere with day-to-day functioning. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect for the client’s experience, and building tools that support lasting change.

Taking the first step toward therapy is framed as a courageous commitment to self-care, and Julie aims to make that step purposeful and manageable. As an LMFT, she brings specialized training in relationship systems and family dynamics, applying that lens when working with individuals and couples to improve communication, coping, and overall wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Julie Propst

Julie uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people build insight, self-compassion, and personal agency when facing stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines patterns of thinking and behavior to develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. CBT is useful for clients who want structured strategies to change unhelpful habits and reactions.

Julie incorporates EMDR for clients who have experienced significant trauma; EMDR supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity while helping clients move forward. She integrates these models based on each client’s needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie collaborates with clients to determine what fits best based on their preferences, history, and treatment goals. She works together with clients to adapt methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
