About Julie
Julie Shuford is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and anger. Julie also focuses on post-traumatic stress and the aftereffects of traumatic events.
She uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and upsetting memories. Sessions are straightforward and practical - she listens, helps identify patterns, and works with clients on steps they can use between meetings. The aim is to reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and make distressing memories easier to handle.
Julie adapts common therapeutic tools to each person’s situation. That can include breathing and grounding skills for intense feelings, structured ways to approach worry, and methods to process trauma when someone is ready. She explains techniques in clear terms and practices them together in session.
Her focus on anger includes helping people notice the build-up, name triggers, and try alternative responses. For sleep issues she looks at routines and thoughts that interfere with rest. For trauma she supports gradual processing so memories become less overwhelming.
Julie aims to be practical and direct in sessions. She encourages small, measurable changes and checks progress regularly. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to schedule a first appointment and outline what they want to work on.
How Julie uses evidence-based techniques online
Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with trauma, emotion regulation, and sleep. For trauma-related work she supports gradual processing of distressing memories, using paced conversation and grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm. For anger and emotion regulation she teaches skills to notice early signs of escalation, practice alternative responses, and build shorter cooling-off strategies that can be used day to day.She also uses behavioral and cognitive methods to address sleep problems and persistent worry, helping people adjust routines, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and try simple experiments to see what improves rest. Each approach is explained in clear language and practiced together so clients can use strategies between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean starting with skills and then moving toward more in-depth trauma processing when someone feels ready.
