Julie Propst, LMFT

Julie Propst is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Mississippi with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping individuals and couples who are affected by addictions, trauma, abuse, and mental illness, guiding them toward clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies.

Julie approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story. She works collaboratively to identify and sort through barriers and past trauma, helping clients recognize personal strengths and develop practical strategies to improve day-to-day living. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

Taking the first step to begin therapy is acknowledged as a courageous act and marks a commitment to self-care. Julie supports that initial decision and partners with clients to create a path forward that aligns with their goals, values, and life circumstances.

Remote Therapeutic Approaches and Care

Julie Propst draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person seeking help leads the conversation and their goals shape the work. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, strengthening relationships, and addressing life transitions in a way that honors the client's perspective.

She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

When appropriate, Julie integrates EMDR, a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the lasting impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms. Licensed professionals may use EMDR with clients who have experienced abuse, accidents, or other forms of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives and to maintain continuity of support across different situations.
