More about Julie

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in human services, education, and social work. I have worked with individuals struggling with the grief and loss of a loved one, domestic violence, trauma, diagnosed personality disorders, anxiety and depression, poverty and homelessness, human trafficking victims, and individuals experiencing chronic pain. Although my experiences are diverse, I have learned two overarching truths: human suffering is universal AND there is always hope.

My style of treatment is person-centered and eclectic. I know that "one-size-fits-all" is never true with mental health treatment. Each client has a unique story and therapeutic goals are developed cooperatively with that in mind. You are the expert on you. I am often described as a warm and empathetic listener, but I am also willing to provide reflective feedback during "stuck" moments in treatment.

If you are ready to move towards a path of healing, hope, and wholeness, contact me and we will begin this journey together.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Julie Gallivan has been wonderful. She is a supportive and empathetic listener, who knows how to approach our conversations. She provides helpful tools for everyday life and offers additional support whenever needed. I really appreciate how Julie is always just a connection away and replies to my messages in a very timely manner, which shows how much she cares. Thank you Julie!

Reviewed April 2021

She is an amazing person. She responds in a timely manner, checks up on me and gives me words of encouragement to keel going forward. As a man of God, it was initially difficult to talk with somebody about my journey due to my past issues and trauma from church hurt. After meeting with her I came to understand that she too was Christian and really opened my eyes into believing that loving and true people of faith are still out there. Few of the christian therapists I had been with in the past were very condescending and made it a hard space for me to be vulnerable in. She was the exact opposite and is the sweetest and kindest person I've met. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for being the awesome person that you are Julie! :)

Ms. Julie asks simple questions, which, in my opinion, is best because I overcomplicate things so much. She helps to slow my thinking down and has me really concentrate on why I feel the way I do.

Reviewed March 2023

Julie is the most kind and wonderful person who really hears what you have to say. She is an exceptional communicator and truly makes you feel appreciated and understood. The tools she has helped me to develop over these past months have been life-changing, and I mean that in the most literal sense. Her insights are profound and clearly explained, and she helps you to see your blind spots or the less pleasant parts of yourself that you may struggle to understand or deal with. The only anti-anxiety medication that has ever worked for me is therapy with Julie, and I cannot recommend her enough.
