About Julie

Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Julie also lists codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and body image among her additional focuses.

She uses practical talk and therapy methods to help people notice what gets in the way of feeling steady. Sessions look at how thoughts, habits, and past hurts shape day-to-day choices. Julie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, existential ideas, and client-centered work to guide that process.

In conversation she helps people clarify values, set boundaries that feel doable, and practice small changes that reduce overwhelm. Work can include addressing problematic coping like people-pleasing or control behaviors and learning new ways to manage anger, shame, or emptiness. The emphasis is on concrete steps rather than labels.

Julie pays attention to how family of origin, attachment patterns, and past losses influence current relationships. She supports people who want clearer communication, more secure emotional responses, or relief from recurring hurts. Sessions also cover career pressure and the stress of caregiving when those issues come up.

Her style is straightforward and focused on what someone can try between sessions. Prospective clients who speak English and live in Louisiana can follow the listed steps to connect and schedule a first appointment. Confirm the current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and making changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new responses. It often helps with stress, panic, low mood, and relationship-driven behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional hold.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their situation and goals. That discussion can change as progress is made and needs shift.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since they are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people keep therapy consistent during life changes. Ask about session length and how scheduling is handled when you complete the matching questionnaire.
