About Julie
Julie Perry is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for common parenting and life stresses. She draws on almost three decades of experience to help people manage anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD symptoms, and parenting concerns. Julie uses clear, down-to-earth language so a worried parent can understand each step.
She begins by listening to the person's story and identifying strengths that can be used right away. Julie uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions. Sessions are a mix of talking, teaching skills, and trying small changes between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward strategies for communication, handling separation and divorce transitions, and improving mood and self-esteem. Julie also addresses trauma and abuse, attachment challenges, and issues related to sexual assault in a way that centers each person's control over their pace. She frames progress as building habits and practicing new skills rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes long clinical experience across settings, giving her repeated practice with mood disorders, personality concerns, and seasonal affective disorder. Julie emphasizes realistic steps - brief experiments, simple skills, and focused reflections that fit into busy family life.
She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready, and to use therapy as a place to try out new ways of coping and relating to others.
How CBT and DBT guide online work
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves tracking moods, testing unhelpful beliefs, and trying small behavioral experiments to see what helps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on practical skills for emotion regulation and better interpersonal communication, useful for high stress, intense emotions, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which tools fit the person's goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick exercises and pace that feel doable.
