Julie Christman

Julie Christman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. She supports people who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Julie focuses on clear, practical steps that clients can use between sessions to feel steadier and more capable.

She aims to help people understand how past relationships affect current patterns. Julie often works on communication skills, boundaries, and rebuilding trust in oneself after hard experiences. She uses straightforward conversation and reflective listening to help clients name what matters most to them.

In sessions she draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match the work to the person. For trauma-related concerns she also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. These tools are used to reduce distress, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen coping skills.

Julie pays attention to issues that often come up together, like abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and body image. She also helps people manage work stress, grief, anger, and challenges linked to caregiving. Her style is attuned and practical, focused on small changes that add up.

People who come to Julie typically want a calm, steady clinician who listens and helps them make concrete plans. She guides clients through manageable steps to increase self-compassion, improve relationships, and move toward clearer personal goals.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with depression, panic, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge when the approach fits the client's needs.

Figuring out which approach to use is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's goals, comfort level, and the challenges they bring. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks. Different methods lend themselves to different kinds of online work, and Julie will discuss what will be most useful for symptom-focused work, processing trauma, or building skills over time.
