About Julie
Julie Perry is a licensed professional counselor with a long history of helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She practices as an LMHC and uses practical, skills-based methods to support clients through difficult moments. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on clear steps people can try between sessions.
With 27 years of experience, Perry draws on tried methods to help people cope after loss, handle parenting strains, and manage attention challenges like ADHD.
Background and approach
She also addresses trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and mood changes tied to seasonal rhythms. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful from the first meeting. Perry often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits.
She also employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and improve emotional regulation. These approaches are practical and action-oriented, with concrete tools to practice outside sessions. Clients can expect collaborative work that honors their own knowledge of their life.
The therapist encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress regularly. She focuses on communication problems, attachment issues, divorce and separation concerns, and forgiveness as part of broader healing. Julie maintains professional credentials as an LPC and as an LMHC and brings nearly three decades of practice to her work in South Carolina.
Sessions are delivered in plain language, with an emphasis on clear goals and usable strategies.
How CBT and DBT translate to online care
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors that affect mood. Online CBT sessions use mood tracking and homework assignments to test new ways of thinking and acting. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through step-by-step exercises and practice; online DBT sessions can include real-time coaching on breathing and grounding skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix fits best based on goals and everyday challenges. That joint decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for focused conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
