Julia Stevenson, LPC — Therapist in Louisiana

Hi there, I'm Julia!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana with 6+ years of professional work experience in the field. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence etc.

My focus

I work with clients facing relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy concerns, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and LGBTQIA2S+ issues.

My approach

The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are person-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Person-centered aims to provide a nonjudgmental atmosphere led by the client as the main driver in the discussion. While CBT is based on the idea that humans behave due to what they have learned and for a purpose.

My communication style

My counseling style is laid-back, supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. Clients tell me I'm easy to talk to, which is valuable in our therapeutic relationship. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've had struggles that led me to where I am today, and I've overcome them. I know what it feels like to be human and struggle, and I see the strength and resilience it takes to overcome challenges.

My goals for you

I focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome obstacles. We focus on what you want to accomplish, regularly check in on goals, and I always welcome feedback on anything new or changes you want to make.

Our first session

It is normal to be nervous during our first session, as you do not know me, and I understand it is hard to open up about deep things. Our first session is always an assessment, but I promise you it is laid back and narrative; it will almost seem like you're carrying on a normal conversation as we discuss your past and what brings you here.
