About Julie
Julie Gallivan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, mood changes, relationship and parenting struggles, and life transitions in a straightforward way. She uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness, and client-centered listening.
Sessions usually involve talking through what feels most urgent, noticing patterns that cause pain, and practicing small changes that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
With six years of clinical experience, Julie draws on experience with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, bipolar and depression, and challenges like caregiver stress or chronic illness. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family tension, communication problems, and struggles with self-esteem and body image.
Julie offers space for people who want to bring faith into the work; she can integrate Christian perspectives or pray with a client when requested. Her style emphasizes listening first, then tailoring strategies to each person’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. People who choose Julie can expect clear, practical steps alongside a supportive listening presence.
She helps clients set small goals, test new ways of responding to anger or impulsivity, and notice what does and does not work as they move forward.

Therapy approaches that translate to online care
Julie often uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people notice tough thoughts and choose actions that match their values; this can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors that reduce distress. Client-centered therapy is part of her foundation, meaning sessions begin with open listening and follow the client's pace and priorities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that fit the person's situation, and adjust strategies together over time rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for a more traditional face-to-face feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter check-ins. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while still working with a licensed professional.
