Julie Perry, LPC, LMHC

Julie Perry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 27 years of experience. She works from South Carolina and focuses on practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, and depression. Her approach is down-to-earth and centered on helping people use their own strengths to move forward.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different, more helpful behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming. Sessions aim to build clear skills that people can use between meetings.

Julie pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect relationships and daily life. She supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and mood changes like Seasonal Affective Disorder. She also works with issues around divorce, forgiveness, and sexual assault and abuse when those concerns are part of a person’s story.

Her style is collaborative: she listens, offers practical tools, and helps clients try small changes that add up. Therapy is paced to each person’s needs, with skills practice and check-ins on progress. Julie communicates in English and provides sessions from South Carolina.

If someone wants to begin, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

CBT and DBT skills through online sessions

Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are useful when emotions feel intense and when steady coping tools are needed.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the work together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins and skill practice, and all formats help fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and practice skills between meetings.
