Background and approach

Julie listens for strengths and builds on them while helping people try small, manageable changes. Julie also works with issues tied to trauma and abuse, eating and food-related concerns, and post-traumatic stress. She supports people dealing with blended family issues, divorce and separation, social anxiety, guilt, and shame.

The focus is on clear, everyday strategies rather than technical jargon. Her style is respectful, warm, and direct. She aims to create a space where people can name what’s hard and test new ways of coping.

Julie helps clients turn insight into actions that fit their life. People who choose her often want straightforward support for anxiety, depression, or life transitions. She will work with each person to create a plan that feels realistic and responsive to their situation.

Julie values collaboration and steady progress over time.

Client-centered care online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their lead. The therapist creates a supportive space so people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in their life, and together they decide what feels most helpful to try next.

In practice this approach means sessions are driven by the person's goals and pace. Julie will ask about what matters most to the client, reflect what she hears, and help shape practical steps that match daily life. That method often helps with self-esteem, coping with transitions, and adjusting after loss or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose methods and activities that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or obstacles appear.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick troubleshooting, and flexible timing that can fit a busy day. These options let people connect in ways that work with their schedule and energy level.
