About Julie

Julie Duncan is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of relationship and personal issues. She works plainly and directly with adults who want clearer communication, less stress, and healthier connections in their lives. Julie keeps conversations straightforward and nonjudgmental to help people take practical steps forward.

She brings 15 years of clinical experience and holds a Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LA LPC 9271.

Background and approach

Julie’s work spans relationship challenges, trauma and abuse recovery, addiction concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, and grief. She also addresses intimacy-related worries, self-esteem, and life transitions. In sessions she listens for patterns that get in the way of feeling understood.

Then she helps clients test new ways of talking and acting that fit their family and work lives. The tone is collaborative and concrete - clients leave with specific ideas to try between meetings. Julie also offers support for caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family dynamics, and body image concerns.

She incorporates attention to LGBT issues and compassion fatigue when relevant. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who reach out can expect clear goals and practical strategies.

Julie helps clients identify small, manageable steps toward better relationships, improved sleep and eating patterns, and more effective coping with life’s stresses.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Julie uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and testing new ways of communicating. This method helps with family conflicts, intimacy-related problems, and communication issues by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.

Another approach targets mood and anxiety symptoms through structured strategies to manage thoughts, behaviors, and stress. These tools are useful for depression, bipolar mood management, anxiety, and coping with life changes. They are taught in short, clear steps so people can apply them at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which techniques fit best. This collaborative process lets treatments be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options let people fit therapy into busy family schedules and reduce travel time. The variety of formats makes it easier to stay consistent with sessions and practice new skills in real life.
