Julie Knight , LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and those navigating life changes. Julie also supports people around LGBT issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting strains, career questions, and mood disorders. Her style is person-centered and strengths-based. Sessions focus on practical goals and building skills people can use between meetings. She listens for values and priorities, then works with clients to set clear steps toward change. Julie has worked in inpatient psychiatric units and crisis response programs, and she has long experience providing individual therapy. Her background includes helping those who are neurodivergent and people who identify as highly sensitive or introverted. She emphasizes understanding traits rather than labeling them. In sessions she combines approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior approaches when emotional regulation is needed. The blend depends on each person’s goals. Julie often helps people learn more about their personality and how it shapes relationships and choices. She may suggest free personality tests and practical exercises to improve communication and self-awareness. For someone wanting steadier mood, clearer boundaries, or more confidence, she offers a straightforward, collaborative path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and teaching simple skills to act in line with those values even when emotions are strong. It can help with anxiety, depression, life changes, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practice different ways of relating and connecting, which can improve intimacy and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when a client prefers typing to talking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
