About Julie
Julie Butler is an Iowa LMHC with 10 years of counseling experience. She helps people struggling with relationships, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Julie focuses on how patterns and beliefs affect daily life. She listens for what keeps someone putting others first or feeling responsible for another person’s moods. Then she works with practical steps to change unhelpful reactions and rebuild a clearer sense of self.
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with evidence-based tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift thoughts that lead to unhealthy behaviors. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track progress.
She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship skills and Motivational Interviewing to support change around substance use and other habits. Sessions tend to be straightforward and action-oriented, with space to talk through painful experiences and grief.
People who contact her usually start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Julie uses evidence-based approaches online
Julie uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s experience in the session, listening closely and reflecting what matters most. That approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to name patterns such as codependency or repeated caretaking.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing people-pleasing habits and managing anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and notice small changes that build confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients get to weigh the options and choose the path that fits their needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods translate well to a focused session and homework between meetings, while others emphasize practicing new skills during sessions.
