About Julie
Julie Thomas is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She works in Oklahoma and takes a practical, strengths-based approach that centers the person’s own goals and experience. Julie earned a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Central Oklahoma.
Her work history includes outpatient counseling, therapeutic foster care, school-based counseling, and adoption services.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her a wide view of common struggles and coping strategies. In sessions she focuses on building skills and using what already works for each person. She uses client-centered methods that let the individual set the pace and decide priorities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit when people want to change patterns of thinking and behavior. Julie also incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to develop short-term strategies and steady daily habits. Hypnotherapy is another approach she offers when it fits a person’s goals.
These approaches are used to address issues like sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related challenges. Her style is collaborative and practical. She talks through next steps, practices new skills in session, and helps people apply them between meetings.
For someone looking for steady guidance and clear tools, she offers a calm, goal-oriented presence.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own knowledge about their life. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set their own goals so work feels relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options together, try techniques in session, and adjust based on how useful they feel. That collaborative plan helps match methods to each person’s goals, whether learning relaxation tools, changing thought patterns, or building routines for ADHD-related struggles.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for skill work and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the approaches described above.
