About Julie

Julie Dunn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She offers straightforward, steady support to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. She creates an environment where clients can speak honestly and be heard. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier.

Julie favors clear, practical conversations over clinical jargon. Sessions focus on what matters now and what can be done next. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. This approach can be useful for managing panic, depression, and coping with life changes.

Her work also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and anger. Julie supports those navigating eating concerns, career stress, and challenges linked to ADHD. She also attends to family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems.

Julie uses client-centered and solution-focused ways of working. That means she centers the person in the room and looks for practical steps that fit their life. People often leave sessions with one or two actions to try between meetings.

She is practiced at talking through sensitive topics like domestic violence, divorce and separation, and veteran-related concerns. Julie also offers help around codependency and developing greater self-love. Sessions are held in Missouri and are conducted in English.

How client-centered and solution-focused work online

Client-centered therapy is about listening first and following the person’s lead. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what is heard, and helps clients name what matters. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to talk through personal struggles.

Solution-focused therapy narrows attention to practical next steps. Sessions often identify one or two small changes to try between meetings. This method can help with stress, parenting challenges, codependency, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to keep using the same approach or to adjust strategies as needs change.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered listening and solution-focused planning to work well in remote meetings, helping people move toward manageable changes in daily life.
