Julie Christman, LPC

Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship strain. Julie uses straightforward methods to help people feel steadier and more able to manage life’s demands.

She works with people who are coping with trauma, addiction, and major life changes. Julie also addresses intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. She pays attention to attachment struggles, abandonment worries, and family of origin issues that shape current behavior.

Julie blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing acceptance skills that reduce struggle. For trauma work she may use EMDR to help process painful memories in a structured way.

Her style is calm and practical. Julie aims to make therapy a place for real problem solving, not just talk. She helps people set small, concrete goals and build skills that fit daily life.

People who choose Julie usually want clear tools and a steady guide through tough times. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions so therapy can fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings without fighting them and commit to values-based actions. ACT is often helpful for chronic worry, avoidance, and life transitions where acceptance and action need to be balanced.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is another tool she may use for trauma processing when appropriate; EMDR helps people work through distressing memories with guided procedures rather than extended verbal retelling.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they pick techniques and adapt them over time so sessions feel relevant and workable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for a near-face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text fit quick check-ins or when typing helps expression. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
