Julia (Larson) Pham , LPC

Julia (Larson) Pham is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. She supports clients facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career challenges, and concerns tied to LGBT identity and women's issues. Julia works in Louisiana and offers talk-based therapy with kindness and directness.

She keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client. Julia listens, asks clear questions, and helps a person notice patterns that get in the way. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to test new ways of relating and coping.

Her approach draws from client-centered, existential, and mindfulness therapies. That means she pays attention to each person’s values, life meaning, and present-moment experience while staying attuned to emotions and identity. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and build day-to-day habits that reduce distress.

Julia has five years of counseling experience and holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She describes therapy as a collaborative process, not a quick fix. People who have felt unseen or boxed in by family, culture, or systems often come to her for a space to be heard.

In practice she addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, ADHD, shame and guilt, multicultural concerns, and communication problems. She tailors conversations to each person’s life, helping them find clearer direction and greater self-compassion.

Approaches and online options for support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so the person feels understood and can clarify goals; this helps with identity concerns, self-esteem, and relationship struggles.

Existential therapy helps people look at life choices, values, and meaning. It can be useful for coping with life changes, feelings of emptiness, or questions about purpose and direction.

Mindfulness therapy offers tools to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Simple mindfulness practices can reduce anxiety, improve emotion regulation, and help with stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick which methods fit their goals, pace, and preferences. Clients help set priorities and try strategies together during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a softer presence is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are practical for brief check-ins, journaling-style work, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between scheduled sessions.
