Julie Knight , LPCC, LPC

Julie Knight is a seasoned mental health professional with three decades of experience working across inpatient psychiatric units, crisis response programs, and outpatient individual and family therapy. She brings a practical, person-centered approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and clear goals, helping people navigate crises, loss, major life changes, and the everyday desire to feel happier and more confident.

Her credentials include LPCC and LPC, which indicate state licenses to practice professional counseling. Over her career she has developed particular expertise supporting LGBTQ individuals through coming out, improving family relationships, and building self-esteem in environments that can feel unsupportive. She also works with family members to foster understanding and strengthen supportive connections.

Julie has a special interest in Highly Sensitive People and neurodivergent clients, recognizing that sensitivity and introversion are traits to be honored rather than pathologized. She helps people translate self-understanding into practical communication skills, resilience, and self-acceptance. Much of her work focuses on insight-based growth, including personality typology rooted in Jungian ideas and Myers-Briggs frameworks, and she often recommends free assessments to deepen self-knowledge.

Her clinical focus spans stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood disorders, and a range of identity and intimacy-related topics. Julie integrates evidence-informed methods while collaborating with clients to identify approaches that fit their needs.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Fit

Julie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, build psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the individual.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns of relating that stem from early relationships, helping clients understand how attachment styles affect intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. This approach can support work on relationships, trauma, and caregiving challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a space where clients lead the pace and direction of change. It is especially helpful for building self-esteem, enhancing self-understanding, and supporting identity-related concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow therapy to continue despite geographic or time constraints while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and collaboration as in-person work.
