About Julia

Julia Davis is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with five years of experience based in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and supports those navigating issues related to ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, and LGBT matters.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what’s getting in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of thinking and behavior and on practicing small changes that can make days easier. Julia aims for direct, straightforward work rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes working with people who have experienced emotional or physical abuse, as well as those with complex health and social needs. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma, PTSD, and major life transitions. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals with each person.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include cognitive behavioral tools to track and test unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and take action, and attachment-based ideas to address relationship patterns. She also uses elements of client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches where helpful.

In sessions people can expect a focus on practical skills, repeated practice, and discussions about how to apply what’s learned between meetings. The work requires participation and steady effort, and Julia helps people set achievable steps toward the changes they want.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making choices that fit long-term goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, test them, and try alternative responses. It is often used for anxious thoughts, low mood, and repetitive worry patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, communication, and relationship cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Julia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their goals, comfort, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may be better for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option, so check which formats the therapist offers when you schedule.
