About Julie
Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience in Mississippi. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, grief, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people make small, meaningful changes that improve day-to-day life.
Julie believes clients are experts in their own stories. She listens closely, helps sort through barriers, and points out strengths people may not notice.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends talk therapy with evidence-informed techniques. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of current life.
Julie also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Narrative therapy is part of her toolbox for helping people reframe their life stories and see different options. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is available for those working through traumatic memories.
People come to Julie to tackle everyday problems like parenting stress, work strain, body image worries, caregiving fatigue, or relationship communication. She helps with complex situations too, including co-occurring issues, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and commitment or control struggles. Her goal is to help each person find practical steps that fit their life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and letting the client set the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and daily coping skills.EMDR is used with people who are working through traumatic memories and can reduce the intensity of distress linked to those memories. These approaches are offered in service of the client’s goals and are chosen to match the issue at hand and the person’s preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, adjusting plans as changes occur. Clients are invited to share what feels useful and what does not, so the process stays focused on their needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible alongside work, caregiving, and other obligations.
