About Julie
Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience based in Utah. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people build skills that fit their day-to-day life.
Julie combines empathy with clear, usable tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, actionable steps that add up over time. Her background includes outpatient and school mental health settings. That variety helped her learn to adapt techniques for different ages and life stages.
She also brings firsthand parenting experience and uses that to support parents working through family stress and parenting challenges. Julie aims to make therapy collaborative. She listens first, then offers coping skills, communication tools, and planning strategies.
Many clients work on sleep, grief, career concerns, and rebuilding confidence after big changes. Practical matters are part of the work. Julie recommends a computer or laptop for the best connection during video sessions and asks clients to be located in Utah during visits.
She favors a warm, nonjudgmental tone and sometimes has a cat that hops onto her lap during sessions.
How attachment work and skill-based therapy translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and set boundaries, which is useful for intimacy and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and coping with life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions in relationships and can ease communication and closeness issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and daily challenges, then recommend techniques to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what feels manageable for the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, skill reminders, or moments of support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
