About Provider

About Julie

Julie Neely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has over 19 years of professional experience working with children, teens, and adults in a wide variety of settings, including community mental health and school-based environments. She specializes in treating concerns or conditions related to anxiety, anger, depression, chronic stress, ADHD, women's issues, panic-related problems, and spirituality-based issues.

Julie earned her Master of Arts (MA) in Counselor Education at Virginia Tech. She utilizes cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), solutions-focused strategies, and talk therapy approaches, depending on the client's preference and situation. This will provide a setting for you to safely learn new skills and become empowered to face difficult situations. She believes that the counselor-client relationship, like any other connection, is based on mutual respect, trust, and a willingness to share life experiences.

Julie comes into the therapeutic relationship with a person-centered approach in order to give each person she works with the space to feel safe and comfortable. She would like to join you on your journey, providing you with a listening ear, useful skills, and professional strategies.

Get to know Julie

Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?

I appreciate that Thriveworks respects space and time for clients to have choice to access the best counseling service available.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

Conversation and time to get to know one another. I like to say “coffee and conversation” time for us to get adjusted to one another.

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, emotionally safe, and a small sense of relief that you’ve taken the first step of healing for yourself.
