Julie Propst , LMFT

Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping women and others who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or dealing with trauma and addictions. Julie aims to make the first step toward care feel manageable and clear. Julie uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She listens for strengths and patterns in each person’s story. Together she and the client identify barriers and practical strategies that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize small, realistic changes that add up over time. Her background includes long experience working with relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and mood problems such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD, eating concerns, and caregiver stress. Additional areas she addresses include body image, attachment questions, and issues tied to adoption or blended families. Julie blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to center the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused tools when past events are interfering with present life. She uses EMDR and narrative approaches when these fit the work at hand. Therapy sessions are available in Mississippi and conducted in English. Julie guides people through the steps of getting started and helps them choose approaches that match their priorities and daily routines.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on listening, empathy, and building on existing strengths. Online sessions let this work continue through conversation and reflective exercises that fit each person’s pace and needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving. In online sessions, CBT often includes short homework tasks, thought records, and step-by-step behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings.

EMDR is used when past events are affecting present functioning and can be integrated into a broader trauma-focused plan. When EMDR techniques are appropriate, the therapist guides the pacing and uses structured processing in ways adapted for remote work.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods based on your goals, what feels manageable, and how you prefer to work. This collaborative process helps find practical steps that fit your life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief reflections or scheduling. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and daily demands while keeping therapeutic momentum.
