Julie Holt

What clients walk away with, working with Julie Holt, is a clearer sense of what a better life actually looks like for them — and a real path toward it. Julie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, Washington, and she works with individual adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the quiet suspicion that something more is possible. She also supports couples and families around communication, intimacy, parenting, and the long shadows that family-of-origin dynamics can cast on present-day relationships.

Her approach draws from relational, systems-based, and psychodynamic therapy — which in practice means she pays attention to the relationship between client and counselor as a working tool, considers the environments shaping a person’s struggles, and traces the threads from childhood that still pull on adult life. For clients who find it hard to wind down — who lie awake with a buzzing mind even when the phone is finally face-down — that nervous-system load is something she takes seriously in session, not as a side complaint but as a clinical reality.

Julie holds a Master of Arts in Psychology with a specialization in Systems Counseling from LIOS and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Washington. She sees clients in Seattle and online via HIPAA-compliant platforms. Individual sessions are $180 and couples sessions are $190; sliding scale and superbills for insurance reimbursement are available.
