About Julie
Julie Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. Julie aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters to them and find practical steps forward.
Julie centers her work on the person’s story and strengths. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and see new possibilities.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered methods to listen closely and make space for each person’s values and hopes. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, grief, addiction, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Julie has worked with people dealing with parenting strain, relationship conflict, eating concerns, and career stress.
She also has experience addressing family-of-origin issues, abandonment, and gender dysphoria in her clinical work. Sessions are practical and focused. Julie helps identify small, doable changes and strategies that fit everyday life.
She balances exploring deeper patterns with solutions that can be tried between sessions. Julie says faith can be part of therapy when a person wants it, but she also welcomes those without a spiritual background. Therapy can be a place to find renewed hope, repair from past hurts, and clearer direction for the future.

Online session options
How Narrative and Client-Centered Work Online
Julie blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered approaches in online sessions so people can tell their story and be heard. Narrative Therapy helps separate a person from their problems and look at life events with fresh language; it can be useful for trauma, grief, identity concerns, and persistent patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building trust, which supports exploration of values, faith, or questions about gender and relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Julie will collaborate on goals and try different ways of working until something fits. She checks in about what is helping and adapts methods based on the person’s needs and preferences.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messages let people reflect between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for people with travel, work, or caregiving constraints.
