Healing that fits your life

About Julie

Julie Propst is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She works with adults and couples who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people feel heard and find manageable steps forward. Julie emphasizes the person’s own knowledge of their life.

She helps clients sort through what’s getting in the way, including past trauma or ongoing patterns that make daily life harder. Together they identify strengths and practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve relationships.

Her approach mixes talk therapy with structured techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thinking and practice different responses.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for working through traumatic memories when appropriate. Julie also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels blocked.

Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on real-world results.

Initial steps involve clarifying goals, trying small experiments between sessions, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Julie values collaboration and practical tools that fit each person’s life.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions give space for a person to set the pace, tell their story, and decide what matters most in treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches small experiments to change them; this structure works well in video or phone sessions where homework and real-life practice are reviewed.

EMDR helps process traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided stimulation. When appropriate, EMDR elements can be adapted for remote work and discussed ahead of time so clients know what to expect. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose the best mix of methods based on goals, comfort, and progress rather than insisting on a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let therapists and clients use visual cues for deeper work, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
