About Julia

Julia Spain is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel more steady. Julia aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that keep stress and worry active.

Background and approach

Julia blends structured tools with empathy to help people act differently between sessions. Her work addresses life transitions like divorce and separation, questions about life purpose, and building self-love. She helps people cope with compassion fatigue and the burnout that follows giving too much to others.

The approach is problem-focused but also concerned with restoring energy and meaning. Julia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, using it as one of several tools to process difficult memories. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Julia encourages small, practical experiments outside sessions so progress is visible.

Her goal is to help people regain confidence and a clearer sense of direction.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Julia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful thinking. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical homework to change how people react to stress and anxiety.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be practiced in session and used immediately in stressful moments to reduce overwhelm.

Julia includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as one of the methods she may use to work through difficult memories or traumatic experiences. EMDR is introduced carefully and paced to the client’s readiness, with preparation and follow-up work as needed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julia will discuss options, listen to your goals, and help you decide which tools fit best for your situation. She adjusts pace and techniques based on how you respond so the work stays practical and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how you connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual connection matters, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or short skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
