Julie Faflik , LPC

Julie Faflik uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people tackle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC - based in Texas. Julie writes in a direct, approachable way and listens without judgment.

Julie earned a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas at El Paso. She has four years of clinical experience and has worked in community mental health settings. For the last year and a half she has provided crisis work, responding to intense emotional moments and helping people find short-term stability.

Julie often helps people who are managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, anxiety, or reactions to trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship problems, identity and LGBT concerns, and life transitions like divorce or career change. Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, parenting strain, and low self-esteem.

In sessions she uses a mix of practical methods. She draws on cognitive behavior techniques to identify thinking patterns, mindfulness to build present-moment skills, and reality-focused methods to set clear goals. Motivational interviewing is sometimes used to support change when clients feel stuck.

Julie approaches counseling as a team effort. She invites people to tell their stories and works with them to choose strategies that fit their life. Appointments are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, making it possible to match therapy to a person's schedule.

Approaches that translate to online care

Julie commonly uses cognitive behavior techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to teach attention and stress-management skills that can reduce reactivity and improve focus. When people feel stuck about making a change, she may use motivational interviewing to clarify goals and build motivation for steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which combination of techniques suits a person's goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helping and what feels practical in the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people meet face to face across distances, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging can keep continuity between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments while keeping treatment consistent.
