About Julie
Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Mississippi with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. Julie focuses on helping people notice strengths and practical ways to manage daily challenges.
She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and uses that as a starting point. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Julie helps people sort through barriers, past trauma, and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Her work draws on client-centered ideas to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For people affected by trauma, she integrates trauma-focused methods and EMDR to address upsetting memories and reactions.
Julie brings motivational interviewing and narrative therapy into the room when they fit a client’s goals. That can mean strengthening motivation for change or reshaping how a person tells their life story. These tools are selected to match what the client wants to work on.
Her practical aim is to leave people with clearer coping steps they can use between sessions. Julie encourages small changes that build confidence and improve daily routines. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online work
Julie often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people name priorities and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective, while CBT offers step-by-step skills for managing anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.She also uses EMDR-informed, trauma-focused methods for people coping with troubling memories and strong emotional reactions. That approach works by processing distressing experiences so they have less power over daily life. These methods are chosen together with the client based on needs and comfort.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Julie collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try, and she adjusts course if something isn’t helping. The initial sessions focus on goals, priorities, and what feels manageable for that person.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in her biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and let someone avoid camera use when that helps them engage. Ask about current session options when you book so arrangements match your needs.
