About Julie

Julie Ryan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers straightforward, compassionate counseling. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened and aims to meet each person without judgment. Julie uses practical talk and skill-building to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and career concerns.

She helps people notice unhelpful beliefs and try new ways of coping. Sessions can include art-informed techniques when that seems useful. Her background includes a master’s degree in social work from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities and a bachelor of fine arts from the University of North Texas.

Background and approach

Over seven years she has worked in nonprofits, a children’s advocacy center, primary care, independent practice, and intensive outpatient mental health settings. Therapeutic approaches she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

In practice she blends those methods to match what a person needs right now, with an emphasis on skill-building and processing trauma when it is present. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Julie frames the work as collaborative: she listens, offers perspective, and helps people try concrete steps toward their goals.

Online support

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often focus on small experiments and behavioral steps you can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaches practical tools for change, which translate well to video or messaging formats for homework and skill practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process trauma memories and can be adapted to remote sessions with guided protocols when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together you can try one method and adjust if a different approach seems like a better fit, keeping the process collaborative throughout.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and flexible scheduling during a busy week. These formats make it easier to get help without traveling and to use therapy in ways that fit daily life.
