About Julie
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. Julie Ryan focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness approaches.
Julie frames her work around straightforward conversation and practical skills. She helps people notice unhelpful beliefs and practice new ways of responding. Sessions can include talk, skill practice, and occasional art-informed activities when that fits a person's needs.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work in clinical mental health from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas. Julie has worked in nonprofit settings, a children’s advocacy center, primary care, private practice, and intensive outpatient mental health treatment. These roles shaped her approach to common concerns such as grief, guilt, shame, and recovery after domestic violence.
In session she centers the client's perspective and priorities. She invites people to set goals and choose what matters most to them. Therapy blends skills training, mindfulness practice, and processing of past events when needed.
Practical details are handled up front. Sessions follow a weekday schedule and use a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take small actions toward them. It uses exercises to notice thoughts and choose behaviors that align with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior, using concrete skill practice and short experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured processing of distressing memories; it is used when past events continue to cause intense reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they adapt methods and pacing so the work fits the client’s needs and priorities.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, remote sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to meet from another location. The practical aim is to make regular work on coping skills and processing possible without requiring extra commuting, while keeping scheduling and payment handled up front.
