About Julie
Julie Adams is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She brings nearly three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Julie emphasizes straightforward talk and practical steps.
She listens to what matters most and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming. Her background includes work in schools, psychiatric hospitals, and high-risk homes, as well as independent practice.
How Julie works
She has supported people through a variety of diagnoses and situations. This range informs a flexible style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. Julie also spent time as a child specialist in collaborative law settings, which shaped her understanding of parenting concerns and family dynamics.
Outside of work she enjoys swimming, kayaking, boogie boarding, and fossil hunting, and she draws on lessons from her Native American roots. She does not provide services for addiction or couples. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Julie offers steady guidance as people consider changes to feel more fulfilled and content.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching simple tools to calm the body, change unhelpful thinking, and build step-by-step habits that reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving family and parenting interactions by identifying patterns, strengthening communication, and setting clear boundaries to reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods to fit the situation. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits the person's life and priorities.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat can suit quick exchanges, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
