About Julie
Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship problems. She speaks plainly and works to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Julie uses a collaborative style. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify barriers that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Together she looks for strengths and practical strategies clients can use between sessions. Her approach blends several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Motivational Interviewing may be used depending on the concern.
Julie adapts tools to match what feels most helpful for each person’s situation. She has a history of helping people navigate addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Julie also addresses issues such as ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, body image, and caregiver stress.
Her breadth of experience supports clients facing complex, overlapping problems. Initial steps involve a simple sign-up and a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are available in multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule.
The goal is to make steady progress by building coping skills and applying them to everyday challenges.
Therapeutic approaches that adapt to you online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and meeting them where they are. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working together so clients feel heard while deciding on goals and steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns and build skills for day-to-day challenges like anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful for people who have experienced abuse, accidents, or other disturbing events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels safe. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so therapy stays practical and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it easier to keep regular appointments, try different ways of communicating, and use tools between sessions. The focus is on flexible access and steady progress toward the client’s goals.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
