About Julianna

Julianna Murphy is a licensed clinician with six years of professional experience supporting people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, motivation and self-esteem, trauma and grief, ADHD, mood disorders, and workplace or career challenges.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, collaborative presence and helps clients build clearer goals while exploring practical ways to manage emotions and daily demands. Her style emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental listening, creating space for clients to name what matters most to them and try out new ways of responding.

Julianna draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each person’s needs. She works with issues from body image and caregiver stress to panic, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue.

Based in Illinois and licensed as an LCPC and an LMHC, she combines structured skill-building with reflective conversation to help people move toward a more engaged, value-driven life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Julianna aims to make the process approachable and practical for those ready to begin.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for strong mood swings or intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with goals, preferences, and the realities of daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice new skills between sessions with support from a licensed professional.
