About Julie
Julie Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who focuses on practical help for people facing relationship pain, trauma, anxiety, or struggles with self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens closely to help each person find steps forward. Her style aims to make hard conversations easier and to reduce day-to-day stressors that get in the way of healing.
She draws on 15 years of clinical experience to support people dealing with grief, depression, bipolar concerns, addiction, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also helps with intimacy-related questions, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and issues tied to body image or eating and sleeping difficulties. Julie works with clients from the LGBT community and attends to challenges that arise from blended families, attachment wounds, and abandonment fears. In sessions she focuses on building trust quickly so people can talk about their real worries.
Conversations are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. She encourages self-compassion and sets small, reachable goals to track progress. Julie emphasizes coping strategies for life changes and burnout, including compassion fatigue and career-related stress.
She offers guidance for communication problems, commitment or control issues, and support around chronic illness or cancer caregiving. The approach is steady and solution-minded rather than rushed. People who choose Julie can expect direct, respectful conversation and a plan that fits their daily life.
She helps clients notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build confidence so they can move toward the life they want.
How Julie Uses Practical Approaches Online
Julie favors evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life changes. One common approach she uses is skills-based therapy that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-checking tools to manage anxiety, stress, and panic reactions. These tools are quick to practice between sessions and help reduce day-to-day distress.Another frequent method emphasizes behavioral experiments and stepwise exposure for fears and avoidance. This technique helps people safely test new behaviors, face phobias or avoidance gradually, and build confidence through small, measurable wins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Julie will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust steps based on what helps you most. The process is collaborative and paced to fit your needs and comfort.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or health concerns. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and keep momentum between meetings.
