About Julia
Julia Brown is an MS, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of experience based in Mississippi. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and those questioning life purpose after major changes. She also supports people coping with stress, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
She describes herself as someone drawn to crisis work and trauma-focused care. Her background includes direct clinical work and supervisory roles across community mental health and correctional settings. She has experience supporting first responders and people released from federal prison as they transition into halfway house settings.
Her approach uses practical, skills-based therapies. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior techniques help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also uses trauma-focused work and mindfulness to reduce reactivity and ground difficult memories.
Sessions aim to identify immediate coping steps and manageable goals. Solution-focused elements are used to notice small changes and to build forward momentum. She emphasizes short, concrete strategies alongside deeper trauma work when needed.
Julia earned a BA in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from universities in Mississippi. She became an LPC in 1994 and added an LPC supervisor credential in 2008. Her training and long practice have centered on crisis intervention, trauma, and work with adult clients navigating major life transitions.
How her approaches are used in online work
Julia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods in her practice. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and introduces concrete exercises to test and change patterns that keep people stuck. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the hold of painful memories and teaching coping skills to manage triggers and flashbacks.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to help with emotion regulation and present-moment attention. DBT-based tools introduce practical ways to tolerate distress and reduce reactive responding. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention exercises that can lower arousal and improve focus between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then identify which techniques to try first. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
