Julie Knight, LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She brings a calm, practical manner to sessions and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, midlife concerns, relationship and family challenges, and identity issues. Her work emphasizes personal strengths and clear goals so people leave with usable steps they can try between meetings.

Julie draws on straightforward, person-centered listening to help people feel heard and understood. She blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and attachment-informed thinking to improve relationships. The focus is on increasing confidence, coping skills, and clearer communication in day-to-day life.

Her background includes many years on inpatient psychiatric units and in crisis response programs, as well as long experience offering individual and family therapy. That variety informs a flexible style that adapts to urgent needs or to longer-term self-exploration. Julie also has a long history working with LGBTQ people and with highly sensitive and neurodivergent individuals, helping them better understand and express themselves.

She often uses personality typology tools, based on Carl Jung and Myers-Briggs ideas, to help people learn patterns that affect their choices and relationships. Those tools are offered as practical resources and linked to free online tests so clients can use insights outside of therapy.

Julie holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in California. She invites people who relate to this work to explore whether her approach would fit their goals.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck on feeling better right away. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and finding direction during midlife changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that lead to distress and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. It works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by giving clear skills to practice between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication. It helps people improve close relationships and feel more secure in how they connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and new issues appear.

Session logistics and formats were not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. It also lets people work with licensed professionals who use structured exercises, values work, and skills practice in ways that fit everyday schedules.
