About Julia
Julia Duran is a Licensed Clinical Professional (LCP) in Kansas with seven years of work in counseling. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and attention difficulties. Julia also supports people carrying guilt and shame and those facing issues tied to adoption, attachment, or caregiving strain.
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. That often means noticing patterns in thinking and behavior, testing small changes, and building steps that fit day-to-day life. Conversations are focused and pragmatic so people leave with something to try between meetings.
Julia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift routines that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment ideas to clarify values and motivational interviewing to help with changing difficult habits. Other tools she uses include methods for managing chronic pain and behavioral activation for low mood.
She shares resources outside of sessions when helpful, such as books, support groups, or websites. These are offered to support progress at home and work. Julia aims to match interventions to each person’s goals and pace.
Sessions are oriented toward concrete skills and small experiments rather than long abstract discussion. People who work with her typically focus on improving daily functioning, managing intrusive feelings, and practicing new ways of responding to guilt or shame.
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in daily habits. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive guilt by turning abstract worries into specific patterns to work on.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most. This approach can help people carrying shame or guilt act in line with their values even when emotions are strong.
Motivational interviewing supports making changes when motivation is mixed or when old habits persist. It uses brief conversations to strengthen personal reasons for change and set small achievable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That may mean adjusting tools over time as needs change.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online care can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins during a workday or to continue progress while relocating. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so the logistics match your needs.
