About Juli
Juli Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She helps people facing family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, mood struggles such as bipolar disorder, and issues like anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Juli emphasizes practical support and straightforward conversation.
She believes people already carry strengths they can use to change their lives. Juli takes a respectful, client-centered approach. Sessions begin by listening to each person’s story and priorities.
Background and approach
She works with clients to set small, clear goals and to try strategies that fit their daily lives. Techniques often come from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven into sessions when helpful.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce stress and increase awareness of reactions. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes rather than being told what to do. Juli has about nine years of professional experience as a Tennessee LPC.
She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to create a calm space to talk through hard moments. Parents and family members who want straightforward, practical guidance often find this approach useful. To begin, a parent or family member can expect clear, goal-focused sessions that emphasize strengths, simple tools, and steady support.
Juli’s style is direct and warm, with a focus on what works in everyday life.
Approaches that translate to online family support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helps name strengths, and supports choices that feel realistic for family life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juli will discuss options and try methods that match a client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That process is collaborative - clients experiment with tools and give feedback so the plan is tailored over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when in-person visits are hard to arrange. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give shorter, more frequent check-ins and help fit support into tight schedules. These formats make it easier to use skills in real life and to stay connected while juggling family responsibilities.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
