Julie Knight , LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor with decades of experience in mental health care. She has practiced as a licensed counselor for 25 years and brings more than 35 years of work in the mental health field, including time on inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and in both individual and family therapy settings. She holds licensure credentials as LPCC and LPC, which indicate professional training and state licensure to provide counseling services.

Her approach to therapy is person-centered, strengths-based, and goal-oriented, focused on helping clients weather crises, process loss, adapt to life changes, and cultivate greater wellbeing and self-regard. She has a long-standing commitment to serving LGBTQ clients, supporting people through coming-out processes, strengthening family relationships, and building healthy confidence in environments that may feel unsupportive or critical. She also works with family members who want guidance on offering loving, practical support.

Julie has a particular interest in supporting highly sensitive people, introverts, and neurodivergent individuals, emphasizing respect for different ways of experiencing the world rather than pathologizing difference. She helps clients understand traits that may be misunderstood and translate that insight into clearer communication, better coping strategies, and increased self-acceptance. She often integrates personality insight work - drawing on Jungian ideas and Myers-Briggs style typology - to help clients gain lasting self-understanding that informs relationships and life choices.

Julie describes her work as collaborative and exploratory, aimed at deepening self-knowledge and applying that understanding to practical improvements in communication, relationships, and life direction. She welcomes inquiries from people who resonate with this style of therapy and the populations she supports.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals, creating a collaborative space for building insight and self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting guidance as understanding deepens and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. This range of options allows clients to connect in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels, supporting consistent progress even when life is busy or travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that aligns with each client’s priorities.
