About Julianna
Julianna Murphy brings six years of clinical experience to her work with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, low self-esteem, and motivation.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping clients navigate life transitions, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and concerns like ADHD, eating issues, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also attends to related areas including body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, workplace difficulties, and questions of life purpose.
Murphy holds LCPC and LMHC licenses and practices from Illinois, using evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's needs. She cultivates a nonjudgmental, client-centered atmosphere that invites honest sharing and collaborative goal-setting.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, acceptance-based techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build practical coping skills and promote emotional flexibility. Clients work with her to explore values, strengthen resilience, and create concrete plans for change.
Julianna frames therapy as a partnership, offering supportive coaching alongside clinical interventions to help clients move toward a more fulfilling life experience.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which can help with depression, panic, and social anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, supporting emotion regulation and resilience in the face of chronic stress or trauma.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit for each individual's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to receive support from home or another comfortable setting. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, teach practical skills, and provide ongoing coaching and check-ins while accommodating different communication preferences.
