Julie Butler, LMHC

Julie Butler is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a decade of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with relationship challenges, jealousy, anxiety, depression, addiction, ADHD, grief, and major life changes. Julie also supports those dealing with self-esteem, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and career-related stress.

Julie favors a straightforward, practical style in sessions. She listens first and helps clients name the patterns that get in the way. Then she uses specific techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so daily life feels more manageable.

Her work often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused steps. Sessions typically include identifying troubling thoughts, testing small behavior changes, and tracking results. Goal-setting and simple homework are common parts of the process.

Julie’s background includes a variety of behavioral health roles over the past ten years. This experience informs how she tailors approaches for different concerns, from addiction and domestic violence effects to attachment and abandonment issues.

She practices in Iowa and communicates in English. International clients are accepted through the platform. Julie asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so she can match the work to each person’s goals and situation.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients feel understood so they can name the problems they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and practice new actions that reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive urges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to match goals and preferences to the methods that feel most helpful. That may mean starting with client-centered conversation, then adding CBT techniques and short homework tasks if that fits the issue.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing sessions without travel and helping people keep consistent appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when time is tight or allow conversation without being on camera when that helps someone concentrate. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and goal tracking to remote sessions so progress stays practical and measurable.
