About Julia

Julia Brown is an MS, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of experience based in Mississippi. She works with adults on problems such as trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, blended family issues, and stress related to life changes. She also addresses addictions, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

She spent the first part of her career providing direct clinical services and later moved into supervisory roles. Her background includes crisis intervention and trauma-focused work, and she has experience with veterans and first responder issues. More recently she has provided contracted clinical services supporting people transitioning from federal prison into halfway house settings.

In sessions she uses practical methods aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. Her approaches include cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused methods. She works in straightforward language and focuses on concrete skills clients can use between visits.

Julia emphasizes problem-solving and stabilizing reactions after loss, abuse, or sudden change. She helps people sort priorities, reduce intense emotions, and plan realistic next steps. Parents and adults in blended households can bring questions about step-parenting, co-parenting with an ex, loyalty conflicts, and negotiating household routines.

Her training includes a BA in Psychology and an MS in Counseling Psychology. She became licensed as a professional counselor in 1994 and held an LPC supervisor credential beginning in 2008. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Julia’s approaches translate to online work

Julia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Trauma-focused therapy targets reactions to past harm and teaches strategies to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to reduce crises and improve communication in blended households.

Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. You and the therapist can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online options are used. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use sessions without commuting. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises you can use at home to practice skills between visits.
