About Julie
Julie Propst is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. Julie aims to make the first call or message feel manageable and straightforward for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Julie follows a client-centered approach that treats the person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
She helps people sort through barriers and past hurts, and she supports them in spotting strengths and workable strategies. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room to address emotional safety and practical steps. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe their story and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and build momentum. Across her career Julie has helped people navigate grief, parenting strains, intimacy concerns, and the aftermath of abuse or addiction. She pays attention to how stress shows up in daily routines and relationships and looks for small changes that make life easier.
Julie practices in Mississippi and offers sessions that fit busy lives. She aims to help parents and individuals find realistic tools they can use between meetings and to build more stable routines over time.

How these approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people set goals that feel right to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out parenting stress or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online CBT sessions identify unhelpful thinking and try simple, practical experiments to change behaviors. This can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and day-to-day coping skills.
EMDR, a trauma-focused method, gently processes difficult memories by pairing talk with guided bilateral stimulation in a paced way. When trauma is a key issue, EMDR can be used to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and improve daily functioning.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they adjust the plan so it matches the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text can be short check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy family schedules and different daily routines.
