About Julie

Julie Lewis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who connects with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, stress, or big life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help someone make small, practical shifts.

Background and approach

Julie welcomes direct conversations about relationships, intimacy, parenting concerns, and issues tied to trauma and loss. With 14 years of experience, Julie draws on approaches that focus on relationships, thoughts, and present choices.

She combines Gottman Method work for relational patterns with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-oriented perspectives to help people clarify values, manage difficult emotions, and repair communication. Sessions aim to be warm and straightforward rather than full of jargon.

In the therapy room she emphasizes understanding how past wounds affect current reactions. That can mean looking at attachment patterns, exploring moments of dissociation after trauma, or practicing small behavioral experiments for anxiety and mood.

Conversations center on steps someone can try between sessions. Julie also addresses practical life challenges such as parenting stress, postpartum struggles, eating concerns, addiction-related patterns, and navigating separation or infidelity.

She includes strategies from cognitive behavioral work when that helps change unhelpful thoughts or habits. The overall approach blends acceptance, values-based work, and focused relationship tools.

Julie works in English and practices in Texas, offering phone and video sessions as well as messaging options for people who need flexible ways to connect.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Julie blends Gottman Method ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-based work to address relationship patterns, values-driven change, and early attachment wounds. Gottman-influenced tools focus on improving communication and reducing negative cycles in close relationships by teaching specific communication and repair skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values, which can ease avoidance and increase daily meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape present reactions, and helps people identify and shift patterns that cause repeated distress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the practical demands of life. She adjusts pacing and techniques over time so work feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to keep progress moving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care during relocation or travel.
