Julie Knight, LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in California with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing major life changes. She also supports clients with relationship concerns, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Julie describes a person-centered, strengths-based way of working. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps the client can try between appointments. She uses everyday conversation to build understanding, improve communication, and develop coping strategies that fit each person's life.

Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric units and crisis response programs, along with many years providing individual and family therapy. That range gives her experience with acute difficulties as well as ongoing life challenges.

Julie has a long-standing interest in LGBTQ issues and supports people through coming out, building self-confidence, and repairing family relationships. She also works with people who identify as highly sensitive or introverted, helping them reframe those traits as strengths rather than problems.

She often uses personality insights, including Jungian ideas and Myers-Briggs related tools, to help clients understand themselves better. That insight work is used to improve communication, relationships, and decision making over the long term.

If someone is curious about working together, Julie asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Julie's Approaches Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to improve mood and functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

The choice of approach is a cooperative decision. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

For online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many clients find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow easier attendance during work breaks, and remove travel time. Online sessions also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions or when relocating within California. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work over distance, using worksheets, guided exercises, and focused homework between appointments to keep momentum.
