About Julie
Julie Knight is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years in the mental health field. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. Her style is direct and person-focused, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more confident in daily life.
Julie draws on practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people change unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to improve how people relate to others, and client-centered methods to keep sessions rooted in each person's priorities. Clients can expect short-term tools alongside deeper exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships and choices.
Julie often helps people understand their temperament, including introversion or high sensitivity, so they can stop feeling wrong for who they are and instead learn ways to communicate needs and set boundaries. Her background includes decades on inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and in ongoing therapy. That mix means she is familiar with both urgent problems and longer-term growth work.
She brings a strengths-based, goal-oriented stance to sessions while attending to emotion and connection. Julie works with people in California and conducts sessions in English. She supports a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, parenting stress, career questions, trauma and mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She aims to help each person find clearer direction and more reliable ways to cope.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Julie combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas to help people change unhelpful thinking and take values-based action. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, offering practical skills for everyday situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard feelings, clarify what matters to them, and commit to small steps that line up with those values.She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationship patterns shape current intimacy and conflict. That work looks at how people form connection, recognize repeating patterns, and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats therapy as a team effort and will help clients choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often mixes short-term skills training with deeper exploration when that fits the person's goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can support quick reflections between sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, and other life demands.
