Background and approach

Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support making and keeping changes. Her work often addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, addictions, and identity questions including LGBT issues. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and trauma or abuse.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit into daily routines. Julie aims to make therapy collaborative. She asks about what matters most and suggests manageable skills people can try between sessions.

Conversations may include looking at patterns, telling the story of what happened, and rehearsing new ways of coping. People meet with Julie through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The format is chosen to suit someone’s schedule and communication style.

Costs vary by location and sessions are offered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Julie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behaviors someone wants to change. Mindfulness therapy is offered to help people build calm, focus, and better awareness of their reactions; it often includes simple breathing and attention exercises useful for stress and emotional ups and downs.

Julie approaches change collaboratively. She will talk with clients about their goals and try different approaches to see what fits best. That might mean combining skills practice, motivational conversations about change, and space to understand life patterns together until a plan feels right.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or when messaging fits better into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines and let people choose what helps them stay engaged.
