Julie Prudom

Julie Prudom is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a 30-year career helping people work through difficult life chapters. She trained at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master’s in Professional Counseling. Julie’s style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients feel clearer and more confident about next steps.

Her sessions tend to focus on practical tools and straightforward conversation. She listens without judgment and works side by side with clients to set goals. Many come for help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, or questions around addiction and ADHD.

Julie integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. That means she pays attention to past hurt while helping people build skills to manage thoughts and behaviors now. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolbox for short-term problem solving and day-to-day coping.

She has spent decades supporting teens, adults, and couples through transitions such as divorce, career shifts, and caregiving strain. Her background includes work with complex issues like attachment problems, chronic illness, body image, and domestic violence concerns. Julie emphasizes steady, respectful pacing so clients feel they can move forward at their own speed.

People who prefer a direct but compassionate clinician often find her approach useful. She helps clients identify small, achievable changes and practices they can use between sessions. For those considering therapy, Julie offers a straightforward starting point and ongoing guidance as goals evolve.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to acknowledge and work through past hurt while also helping people build coping skills for the present. This approach aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning for those who find past events still affect them.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person's experience and priorities so goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another main method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses that change feelings and behavior.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some clients prefer less screen time while others like the convenience of remote sessions; Julie will help figure out what suits each person best.
