About Julie
Julie Featherman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. She brings three years of clinical experience across nonprofit, residential crisis stabilization, community mental health, and independent practice settings. Julie draws on nearly 20 additional years in fields like marketing, higher education administration, and K-12 online education to inform practical supports.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family tensions, career transitions, addictions, bipolar concerns, and identity issues including LGBT matters.
How Julie works
Julie offers a warm, nonjudgmental presence in sessions. She treats people with respect and compassion and approaches therapy as a collaborative effort. Julie believes clients know their lives best and partners with them to shape goals and next steps.
Her clinical style blends cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, looking at how past experiences affect current feelings, and finding practical steps to try between meetings. Julie adapts her approach to what each person needs and prefers.
She has particular experience supporting people with body-focused repetitive behaviors such as trichotillomania and skin-picking. In session she balances goal-setting with empathic listening and practical coping strategies. If someone is ready to make a change, Julie aims to provide steady support and clear next steps.
She helps people break problems into manageable parts and build skills that fit their daily life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie uses a blend of evidence-based approaches that are easy to follow in online work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationship patterns, offering insight that can reduce repeating problems. Solution-focused strategies emphasize small, practical steps and goals you can try between sessions to create visible progress.Finding the right mix is part of the process. Julie will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth weekly sessions and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people send updates or get brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or hectic days while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
