About Julia
Julia Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with eight years of experience. They work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Julia also focuses on life purpose questions and issues such as body image, family of origin difficulties, and mood disorders.
Julia uses straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. They draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing are used to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Julia helps set clear goals and breaks larger problems into manageable steps. People can expect to talk about what is getting in the way now and practice specific strategies between meetings.
Their training includes a master’s degree from Loyola University of Maryland and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maryland. That education supports work with substance use, grief, and LGBT-related concerns alongside broader mood issues.
Outside of work, Julia spends time reading, gaming, gardening, and making stained glass and costume pieces. They live in Maryland and use their own experience with creative projects and pets to relate to everyday stresses and routines.
How Julia adapts CBT and DBT for remote sessions
Julia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice specific changes. CBT sessions are practical and often include short exercises or homework to try between meetings, which can be helpful for problems like anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.They also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be practiced in-session and applied to stressful moments, substance use challenges, and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julia will discuss goals, preferences, and what has felt helpful in the past. They collaborate with the client to adjust methods and try different tools until a good fit is found.
