About Julie
Julie Gallivan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people work through relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions. Julie aims to create a calm, approachable space where clients can talk about anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday pressures.
She uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions often involve learning ways to manage stress, improving communication, and finding steps toward better self-esteem. Julie also addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and compassion fatigue.
Julie draws on acceptance-based and cognitive strategies alongside person-centered listening. This mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and reconnect with what matters to them. Narrative and mindfulness tools are also part of her work when they fit a person’s needs.
She has six years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential. Julie is comfortable integrating faith-based values when a client requests that, and she can pray with clients who ask. She works with individuals on concerns related to adoption and foster care among other family and personal issues.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical suggestions. The goal is steady, doable steps toward better coping, clearer communication, and more satisfying relationships.
How Julie uses evidence-based approaches online
Julie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in plain language to help clients identify what matters, shift unhelpful thoughts, and take achievable steps toward goals. ACT works by helping people clarify values and act on them even when emotions are difficult. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems stuck and testing small changes to break those cycles.She also uses client-centered listening, which means the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them. Finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client's goals, values, and daily life. That can mean mixing acceptance, cognitive tools, mindfulness, or storytelling techniques over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be arranged to match your routine and what will work best for talking through relationship, parenting, or adoption and foster care concerns.
