About Julie

Julie Seifert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making difficult conversations feel manageable.

Julie encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage. In sessions she focuses on practical change. She listens without judgment and works with clients to set clear goals.

Background and approach

Julie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered support to help clients spot patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable steps that move people forward. Her background includes eight years of clinical counseling work as an Arizona LPC, license number LPC-20359.

That experience has covered issues such as blended family challenges, divorce and separation, communication problems, guilt and shame, and panic attacks. She also supports people facing workplace stress and transitions into young adulthood. Julie aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through what matters most.

Sessions are collaborative: she helps clients weigh options and practice new skills between meetings. The approach is geared toward steady progress rather than quick fixes. For people wrestling with parenting strain or family-related stress, Julie offers focused conversations and tools to improve communication and reduce conflict.

Her work emphasizes building self-compassion, clearer boundaries, and realistic next steps to handle life's changes.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. In this approach the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects their experience, and helps them feel heard, which can reduce shame and increase clarity about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and anger because it teaches concrete techniques to change thinking patterns and behaviors.

Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical changes that create momentum. Sessions often identify one or two realistic steps to try before the next meeting, which helps people see progress quickly.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past, then tailor the approach. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize listening, skill work, or short-term problem solving.

Online sessions with a licensed professional offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing encouragement. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
