Julie Thomas , LPC

Julie Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty-five years of experience in the counseling field. She earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma and has worked across settings including outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services, building a broad foundation of clinical experience.

Her practice addresses depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, PTSD, anger management, adoption-related issues, grief and loss, Christian counseling, adjustment and transition difficulties, mindfulness training, and parenting skills. Julie draws on that varied background to tailor care to each person's situation while remaining focused on practical, attainable goals.

Julie uses a strengths-based, team-oriented style of counseling. She views each person as the expert on their own life and partners with them to identify and build upon existing strengths. With a calm and supportive presence, she offers guidance and strategies alongside empathetic listening, helping people navigate family challenges, trauma, life changes, and the emotional work that follows loss.

Approaches That Guide Online Counseling

Julie integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, focusing on respect for each person's perspective and encouraging self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative, empathetic space to explore personal values, relationships, and life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep difficulties. CBT provides practical tools and exercises clients can apply between sessions to manage symptoms and set achievable goals. Mindfulness therapy is another component of her practice, teaching attention and grounding techniques that support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and coping with grief or trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques so the chosen methods fit the person's life and pace. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and location. These options help clients maintain momentum and integrate therapeutic strategies into daily routines while working with licensed professionals.
