About Julianna
Julianna Murphy is an Illinois LCPC and an Indiana LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship tension, family problems, low self-esteem, and motivation. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, anger, and work-related stress.
Julianna uses practical conversation and active listening to help people sort through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps people can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of her approach when people want to clarify values and build committed action. Client-centered methods guide the pace and tone of sessions so the person sets priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
Her work often looks at how family dynamics affect everyday life and decision making. She helps people unpack difficult interactions with relatives and supports parents and caregivers facing role strain or burnout. Julianna also assists people navigating life transitions, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues tied to body image.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Julianna encourages practical experiments and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, readers should use the site tools to view therapy options, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. It is practical and skill oriented. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own perspective and lets them set the pace and topics for work in sessions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and make adjustments over time so therapy fits the person’s needs.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking using the site options. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving tasks, work hours, or medical appointments. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. The focus is on making therapy workable for daily life while using evidence-informed skills such as ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques.
