Julie Knight, LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, recover from grief and trauma, and build stronger self-esteem. Her work is practical and person-centered, aimed at helping people feel better in their daily lives.

Julie draws on clear, goal-oriented methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients identify small, manageable steps toward change. She encourages people to use their strengths and to set realistic goals they can try between meetings.

Her background includes long-term work on inpatient psychiatric units and in crisis response programs, along with years of individual and family therapy. That range means she is familiar with both fast-moving crises and slower, insight-focused work.

Julie has a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ people through identity questions, coming-out concerns, and family relationship challenges. She also works with highly sensitive people and neurodivergent clients, helping them understand their traits and communicate needs more clearly.

In sessions she often uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods, plus client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. She helps clients learn about personality patterns and offers resources like reputable online tests to support ongoing self-understanding.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, communication, and intimacy, and helps people build different ways of relating.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which approach or mix of approaches to use based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. That plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between other responsibilities. It can also make some check-ins shorter when needed, and reduce the need to travel for routine follow-ups. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you know what to expect.
