Julie Propst, LMFT

Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She brings three decades of experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach. Julie aims to help people find practical steps to manage symptoms and move forward.

She listens first and lets each person tell their story. From there she works with clients to sort through barriers and identify strengths. Sessions focus on concrete strategies that fit daily life so change can feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Julie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered stance to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. She also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when that fits a person’s needs. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy inform how she supports people through stages of change.

Her experience includes supporting individuals and couples affected by addiction, trauma, and mental health concerns. She helps people manage grief, parenting strain, identity questions, and career transitions. She also addresses chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, attachment and adoption-related issues.

Julie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best. She works with English-speaking clients in Mississippi and brings a calm, steady presence to each session.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practices small changes that can make daily life easier. Client-centered therapy provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace and Julie follows their concerns.

She also offers EMDR when processing traumatic memories is needed, using structured eye movement or other bilateral stimulation techniques to help reduce distress tied to past events. Each method targets different goals - symptom reduction, emotional processing, or motivation for change - and she explains options plainly so people can choose what feels right.

Finding the best approach is a process. Julie works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. She checks in about progress and adjusts the plan when something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers quick check-ins or reflective notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life’s demands.
