About Julia

Julia Thompson (they/them) is a non-binary licensed professional counselor in Maryland who brings eight years of focused clinical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and LGBTQ-related concerns. They hold an MD (Doctor of Medicine), a master’s degree from Loyola University of Maryland, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maryland. Julia has worked extensively with substance use disorders and mood-related challenges, and they seek to combine practical skill-building with compassionate support so clients can navigate difficult life transitions and long-standing patterns.

In session Julia integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Their approach emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients can feel invited into the process of change. Julia views seeking help as an act of courage and aims to empower clients to pursue a more satisfying and balanced life.

Outside of their clinical work Julia enjoys reading, gaming, home improvement projects, gardening, creating stained glass and other crafts, and designing historical and cultural costumes and headpieces. They have cared for dogs in the past and now share their home with feline companions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julia Thompson draws on proven, goal-oriented methods to guide work in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered technique that supports people who are navigating change, particularly around addiction and ambivalence about recovery.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Julia collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques so therapy feels relevant and workable for daily life. This collaborative stance helps ensure that treatment aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual goals.
