About Julie
Julie Faflik is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas at El Paso. Julie has worked in community mental health and spent about a year and a half in crisis services, which shaped her work with stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger.
Julie describes therapy as a team effort. She listens and invites people to tell their story. She notes that trauma can lead to depression, anxiety, and anger, and she helps people talk through those reactions. Julie also addresses concerns such as relationship strain, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and struggles with parenting and sleep.
Her approach varies with the individual. She may use cognitive behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are sometimes used to calm intense feelings and improve focus. Reality therapy and motivational interviewing are other techniques she may draw on depending on a person’s goals.
Julie aims to match methods to what each person needs rather than using a single fixed model. She emphasizes listening first, then working together to choose practical steps. That can include skill building for handling anger, improving communication, or managing impulsive responses.
Her background in crisis work means she is familiar with high-stress situations and quick problem-solving. People looking for help with coping, life changes, or career and identity concerns may find her experience relevant. To begin, she asks people to share their story and discuss what they want to change.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Julie commonly draws on cognitive behavior therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT focuses on practical steps such as spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing different behaviors to reduce reactivity.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice strong emotions without immediately acting on them. Mindfulness exercises can be short and practical, useful for managing frustration at work or in relationships. Reality therapy and motivational interviewing are other methods she may use to clarify choices and build motivation for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie listens to what a person wants to change and then suggests techniques that fit those goals. This collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or another method will be the focus of sessions.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or remove travel time. Some approaches translate well to a remote setting because they use short exercises, homework, and straightforward skill practice that can be done between sessions.
