About Julia
Julia Duran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LCP) practicing in Kansas with seven years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career obstacles, depression, and attention and concentration difficulties. Julia also supports those facing issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism spectrum concerns, and caregiver stress.
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and make small, useful changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can try between meetings. Julia often shares helpful resources such as books, support groups, and websites to reinforce what is discussed in sessions.
Her style centers on respectful, direct conversation and collaborative planning. She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and track small gains. Conversation may include strategies for mood, behavior, and coping with physical health challenges when relevant.
Julia pays attention to life context like work demands, family roles, and health issues when forming a plan. She offers straightforward options for building confidence, improving communication, and managing impulses. Practical strategies for chronic pain or long-term illness are included when they affect daily function.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Julia uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Julia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and concentration problems and includes exercises you can practice between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify personal values and practice present-focused strategies for living despite difficult thoughts or feelings. This approach supports work on motivation, commitment to goals, and tolerating uncomfortable experiences without getting stuck.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on goals, daily life, and how someone responds to initial strategies. That collaborative decision making helps shape a plan that feels doable.
Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone options can be a shorter way to connect when video would be difficult, and video sessions can support active skills practice and visual cues during work on social anxiety and communication.
