About Julie
Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in California with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Julie also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, career strain, and LGBT-related concerns.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She focuses on strengths and clear goals. Sessions aim to help people understand themselves better and develop practical ways to respond to strong emotions like anger or persistent anxiety.
Julie draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take values-guided actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel upset and reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She also works with attachment-based ideas to improve how people relate to others, and client-centered methods that emphasize the person's perspective in making changes. Julie often helps clients explore personality patterns, including Myers-Briggs influenced typology, to increase self-understanding and communication.
Her background includes inpatient psychiatric work and crisis response, along with long experience in individual and family therapy. She encourages practical steps you can use between sessions to manage anger, rebuild relationships, and cope with major life changes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and to take small actions in line with those values, which can reduce reactive behavior. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that escalate anger and anxiety, giving clear techniques to practice between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills give concrete steps to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive responses that can harm relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then pick methods to try and adjust them as needed. This shared decision-making helps keep work practical and focused on everyday problems like work frustration or family conflict.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or offer phone rather than video when bandwidth is limited. Many people find these practical arrangements help them maintain momentum between appointments.
