Julianne Howdeshell, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Julianne!

I look forward to walking beside you through this season of life. Whatever challenges brought you here, I'm proud of you for taking this first step toward connection and healing. Together we can work on your goals to help you find a reflection of yourself that is grounded in comfort and peace.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, intrusive thoughts, parenting stress, and relationship trouble. I'm here to walk beside you through getting to a point where you can comfortably live with these experiences and feel in control of your own thoughts.

My approach

I offer a confidential, comfortable space through talk therapy influenced by acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I'm trained in accelerated resolution therapy, an eye movement modality used to accelerate healing for those who have experienced trauma. We view the world through a strengths and solutions-based lens.

My communication style

I'm often described as kindly assertive and real. I pride myself on developing relationships that facilitate trust and open communication where clients feel at ease. I will gently challenge thought processes that have added to maladaptive coping skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked with victims of sexual and physical abuse, children with developmental delays, and clients in acute healthcare experiencing illness and psychological events. I've also provided therapeutic services to healthcare workers and worked in public education with teens and the neurodivergent community.

My goals for you

I like to think of myself as your guide. You are in control of the journey, and I am walking beside you with different skills and insight to help you reach your goal. I have many strategies and tools to utilize as different needs arise on the journey toward healing.

Our first session

A first session is spent developing rapport and getting to know you. I'll ask questions that give me the needed information and insight to develop a treatment plan that will best fit your needs. I can't wait to help you gain the skills you need to navigate through life successfully.
