About Julia
Julia Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
She uses straightforward talk and evidence-based techniques. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and tools people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Julia blends short-term problem solving with deeper work when needed. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and trauma-focused methods to address painful memories and current struggles. Julia earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Mississippi College and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi.
She became licensed as a professional counselor in 1994 and later obtained an LPC supervisor credential. Over her career she provided direct clinical services and also supervised other clinicians. Her background includes crisis intervention and work with first responders and veterans.
More recently she has provided contract services supporting individuals leaving federal prison and moving into transitional housing. That experience informs her practical, safety-minded approach when facing major life changes. Sessions take a down-to-earth tone.
Parents who are worried about coping, communication, or life transitions will find clear steps, homework when helpful, and a focus on realistic changes that fit family life.
How her approaches translate to online care
Julia uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions, which fits well with online coaching and homework assignments.She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to cause distress. This approach carefully addresses painful memories and teaches ways to manage strong emotions. It can be adapted to video or phone sessions so clients can work through triggers while building coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julia works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts techniques as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to get support from home or another suitable space. The range of formats also lets people use the communication style they prefer, whether that is talking in real time or exchanging shorter messages between meetings.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
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.
