About Julie

Julie Knight is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience in mental health. She has worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, crisis response programs, and in outpatient individual and family therapy, and brings a person-centered, strengths-based, goal-oriented stance to her work.

Background and approach

Julie often helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and challenges related to identity and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes understanding each person's temperament and inner strengths, including attention to neurodivergent traits and the needs of the LGBT community.

Julie supports clients who want clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, or help navigating major life changes and career or parenting stress. She also offers coaching-style work for life purpose and compassion fatigue and addresses mood disorders such as bipolar conditions with practical, skill-based strategies.

Julie holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in California. Her style blends evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centered work to tailor treatment to individual goals and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings in a different way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that developed early in life and works to improve emotional connection and safety within current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptom patterns with each client and tailor interventions from these models to fit individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and allow therapy to continue consistently during life transitions and scheduling challenges.
