About Julie

Julie Knight is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience in mental health.

Background and approach

She brings a person-centered, strengths-based, and goal-oriented approach to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family struggles, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and a range of other life changes. Her practice also includes focused support for LGBT clients, compassion fatigue, and coaching to build confidence and coping skills.

Her background spans inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and many years providing individual and family therapy, which informs a practical, empathic style that emphasizes insight and self-understanding. Julie often integrates Internal Family Systems ideas alongside approaches such as ACT, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients clarify values, manage emotions, and improve communication.

She also supports people who identify as highly sensitive or neurodivergent, helping them reframe strengths and develop communication strategies. Julie holds the LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in California, offering flexible formats for ongoing or short-term work that focus on building lasting self-awareness and healthier life choices.

Integrating therapy approaches into online care

Julie commonly draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves, which can assist with internal conflict, shame, and repeating relational patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present, supporting work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore early relational patterns and repair interpersonal dynamics, making it useful for relationship struggles and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Julie works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques over time so therapy remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of working, and access therapy from home or other convenient settings while keeping the focus on progress and skill-building.
