About Julie

Julie Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and recovery, mood concerns, and anger. She also supports people coping with life changes, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, and questions about gender and sexuality.

Her approach starts from the view that clients know their own story. She uses that understanding as a foundation and draws on several practical approaches to help people manage strong emotions and make changes that fit daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals, what’s working, and small steps forward rather than long lectures.

Julie blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns tied to anger and anxiety. She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and psychodynamic thinking to look at repeating patterns from earlier life. Solution-focused techniques support quick, concrete strategies when people need relief fast.

Her background includes work with survivors of sexual assault and people living with serious mental illness and substance use concerns. She is comfortable addressing faith issues and also works with people who do not follow a religion. Julie has experience supporting LGBTQ individuals through identity and relationship challenges.

Julie works from a practical stance: identify triggers, try small changes, and review what helps. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Julie’s approaches translate to online sessions

Julie often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative work. Client-centered listening means the therapist follows a person’s priorities and reflects what they say to build clearer goals, which helps when anger feels confusing. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe painful events to reduce shame and blame.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a skill from CBT for a few sessions, then shifting to narrative or solution-focused tools if something else seems more useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone use audio-only sessions if video is difficult, or plan sessions around work breaks and childcare. Ask about specific session types when you schedule your first appointment.
