About Julie
Julie Butler is an Iowa LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with relationship concerns, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, depression, bipolar, ADHD and related issues. Julie helps people who are coping with major life changes or ongoing frustration that affects work and close relationships.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens to how anger and other emotions show up in daily life, then uses conversation and focused techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with steps a person can try between meetings.
Julie draws on Client-Centered methods to shape therapy around each person’s priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns linked to anger and Solution-Focused techniques to build small, achievable changes. These methods are mixed to match the problem at hand, not applied the same way to everyone.
Her background includes ten years as an LMHC working across relationship and trauma-related concerns. Julie also applies elements of the Gottman Method and Motivational Interviewing when they fit the goals people bring to sessions. She accepts clients who live outside the United States and holds sessions in English.
People who choose Julie can expect clear language about what to try between sessions. She focuses on practical tools for managing temper, repairing communication, and reducing the day-to-day stress that feeds anger. The emphasis is on making steady, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julie blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the concerns a person brings and keeps conversation goal-focused to reflect their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how thoughts and behaviors feed anger and teaches specific skills to change them.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, practical goals that can be practiced between sessions. Together these approaches aim to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and create small habit changes that add up over time. Picking which methods to emphasize is a collaborative process - Julie reviews goals and adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The practical result is more consistent work on anger management and daily stress without promising a specific outcome.
