About Julie

Julie Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who focuses on helping people navigate relationship strains, trauma, mood problems, and life changes. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and challenges tied to caregiving or chronic illness. Julie also helps those coping with intimacy issues, parenting stress, and identity questions in the LGBT community.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard topics. Sessions are aimed at helping clients better understand their feelings and patterns. Julie encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life and build toward longer term change.

With about 15 years of experience as an LPC, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address both immediate problems and underlying dynamics. Her work includes support for family conflict, abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and caregiving stress. Julie also lists aging and geriatric issues among her areas of focus and offers care for related transitions and stressors.

She emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s values, including when faith or spirituality matters to the client. Julie aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer goals and healthier daily routines.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Julie describes the first step of reaching out as a courageous move and aims to walk alongside clients through recovery and growth.

How Julie Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life. That method helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by building new ways of thinking and responding.

Another approach addresses relationship and attachment patterns by tracking how clients connect and respond to others. This kind of work helps people improve communication, handle intimacy struggles, and reduce repeated relationship pain. Both approaches are practical and goal oriented, with room for exploring values and spirituality if that matters to the client.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust plans as progress or priorities change.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking since session options are noted on the therapist profile. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed.
