About Julian
Julian Laverde is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of professional experience. He works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Julian presents himself in a direct, straightforward way and aims to help clients talk through what is hard to say.
He focuses on practical skills and clear goals rather than abstract theory. Sessions often include talking through difficult moments and practicing small, manageable steps for change. Julian pays attention to problems that commonly come with anxiety, such as isolation, low confidence, and trouble speaking up in social settings.
His work also covers issues like body image, guilt and shame, workplace stress, and challenges common to young adults and men. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new ways of responding. Julian encourages clients to try skills between sessions so progress is measurable.
People who prefer a straightforward clinician who explains options and sets concrete tasks may find his style a good fit. He describes the first session as a chance to map priority concerns and set practical next steps. Julian asks clients to be an active part of deciding how therapy proceeds.
He offers services in English and provides care from Florida. For people interested in starting, he asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin.
Approaches used and online session details
Julian describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based cognitive work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and social worry. Another frequent element is behavioral practice - setting small experiments to test fears and build confidence in real situations, which is often useful for social anxiety and avoidance.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Julian collaborates with clients to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and he adjusts plans as progress is assessed. He frames therapy as a team effort where the client helps shape what is tried next.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support steady check-ins during life transitions. If video is difficult, many people use shorter phone check-ins or other agreed formats to keep momentum between longer sessions.
