About Julie
Julie Pool is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with ten years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on understanding each person’s story and helping them find practical ways to cope. Her manner is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.
Julie uses a mix of cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness in sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and use breathing and attention skills to manage intense moments.
Background and approach
Those techniques are paired with problem solving so people can handle day-to-day stress more effectively. Her work often focuses on anxiety, panic and social anxiety, and the low mood that can follow life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship stress, low self-esteem, guilt, and questions about life purpose.
Caregiver stress and women’s issues are additional areas she addresses. Julie aims to uncover patterns that get in the way and build practical coping tools. Sessions include talking through recent events, trying new behavioral experiments, and rehearsing communication skills.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is warm but direct, with an emphasis on self-awareness and self-compassion. People who want clear strategies they can use between sessions tend to find this approach helpful.
Julie works in English and practices from California.
Approaches that fit online care and anxiety
Julie typically uses cognitive-behavioral techniques in online sessions to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. This approach is practical for anxiety, panic symptoms, and social fears because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.She also integrates mindfulness-based practices that teach attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Those skills can be practiced between sessions and used when anxiety spikes or during panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed so techniques match your needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to focus on over time.
Online therapy with Julie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexible ways to connect. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between sessions.
