About Julie

Julie Perry is a licensed counselor who uses clear, practical methods to help people manage difficult feelings. She relies on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for everyday coping. Julie has 27 years of experience and holds LPC and LMHC credentials.

She practices from South Carolina and speaks English. Julie focuses on problems that commonly make life harder, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficulties with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also works on concerns tied to parenting, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship communication. Sessions often center on learning concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and build steadier emotional responses. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

Julie treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and adds techniques that fit each situation. She aims to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In practical work she will help people practice new habits, try small experiments, and build skills for handling intense emotions.

She pays attention to patterns like attachment problems, mood disorders, and reactions after sexual assault or other abuse. Over years of practice she has guided many people through divorce and forgiveness processes as well. Julie invites those who are ready to start to take the first step.

The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's needs.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life changes. It teaches simple exercises to reduce worry, low mood, and stress by shifting thoughts and behaviors. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. It can be useful for people who need steady tools to handle strong feelings and improve interactions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to get support without extra travel. The flexible formats help people maintain continuity of care while working on concrete tools and small steps toward feeling better.

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.
