About Julie
Julie Garrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is conversational and practical.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps people can use between meetings. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Julie uses plain language in sessions and makes treatment plans that match a person’s goals and pace. She supports work on post-traumatic stress, building self-love, and concerns often faced by women. Meetings are aimed at improving day-to-day coping, confidence, and motivation.
She encourages people to notice progress in small changes and to try techniques between sessions. Julie believes taking the first step into therapy takes courage and acknowledges that choice. Her style is steady and supportive, with an emphasis on practical next steps.
Background and approach include two decades of varied practice in social work settings across Oklahoma. Julie adapts her methods to fit each person she meets, combining focused conversation with actionable strategies. She works with straightforward goals like managing anxiety symptoms, improving mood, and repairing patterns that get in the way of relationships.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach is short-term, problem-focused work that helps people identify patterns that feed anxiety and stress, then test small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. This kind of work is useful for everyday anxiety, stress management, and rebuilding confidence.Another approach emphasizes processing and coping skills for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Sessions include careful pacing, attention to safety, and building skills to manage distressing memories or reactions. This helps people move from surviving day to day toward more steadiness and self-compassion.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation over distance, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat can handle brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
