About Julie

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday shocks life can bring. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and sexual expression.

Her style is person-centered, strengths-based, and goal oriented. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer self-understanding. Julie listens for what matters to each person and helps them build skills that fit their life.

Julie has worked across inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and outpatient therapy settings. That background informs her steady, calm approach when life feels overwhelming or unpredictable.

She has a long-standing interest in helping LGBTQ clients through coming out, improving family dynamics, and bolstering self-esteem in the face of stigma. She also supports people who identify as highly sensitive or introverted, helping them understand their temperament and communicate needs more confidently.

Julie often uses personality insight work, drawing on Jungian ideas and the Myers-Briggs framework, to help clients learn how they relate to others and make clearer life choices. She combines that with practical approaches to change so the work carries forward beyond the therapy room.

How Julie’s Approaches Fit Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people repair or strengthen the way they relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needed, so therapy can shift if something else seems more helpful.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce transit time, and maintain continuity when schedules change. Online work also lets the therapist and client try exercises, skill practice, and check-ins that integrate with day-to-day life, helping new behaviors take hold between meetings.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
