Julie Prudom , LPC

Julie Prudom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience helping teens, adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, academic preparation that supports her work with a wide range of concerns from anxiety and depression to grief, relationship difficulties, and addiction.

Her practice emphasizes warmth, compassion, and collaboration, creating an environment where people can explore difficult feelings and practical solutions without judgment. Julie draws on a client-centered stance that honors each person’s story while offering evidence-informed strategies to build clarity, confidence, and balance. Whether addressing major life transitions, co-parenting and divorce issues, low self-esteem, trauma, or everyday stress, she helps clients identify strengths and move toward meaningful change.

Across her years of practice Julie has witnessed resilience and growth in the people she supports, and she believes past experiences inform but do not define a person’s future. Her goal is to accompany clients as they develop new skills, rewrite narratives, and pursue healthier patterns in relationships, work, and daily life. Julie brings steady encouragement and practical guidance to the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and the therapist offers empathy and support to help clarify goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotion regulation, which can be useful for managing chronic stress, grief, and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and often involves collaboration. Julie works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person’s situation rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of communicating, and access support from home or another convenient location.
