About Julie

Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress and anxiety as well as related concerns such as addictions, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and grief. She aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical steps forward.

Julie believes each person knows their own story. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients sort through barriers that get in the way of everyday life. She points out strengths and offers strategies to manage symptoms and build resilience.

Her work includes helping people process past trauma and the ways it shows up now. She uses methods that focus on the present problems and memories that keep people stuck. She also helps clients make decisions about relationships, intimacy, parenting, and career stress.

Julie draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what feels useful for each person. She uses client-centered work to create a calm, respectful space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also integrates trauma-focused tools to address painful memories.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes small, doable steps. Julie encourages people to notice strengths and practice new skills between sessions. Taking that first step begins a commitment to ongoing self-care and change.

How Julie’s methods translate to online work

Julie integrates client-centered care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits remote sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, which helps people feel heard and supported even when not in the same room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed online.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques to help people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life. These approaches are applied carefully and at a pace the client can manage. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client talk about goals and preferences and then decide what to try first.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care and practicing new skills in their everyday environment.
