Background and approach
Julie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often in short-term work. Sessions focus on learning tools and skills to handle stressors and improve sleep, mood, and self-esteem. The aim is to leave therapy with new strategies you can use on your own.
She listens for the individual story behind each concern and builds goals together with clients. Meetings are collaborative and goal-directed, with practical steps between sessions. Julie emphasizes clear, usable techniques rather than long-term dependence on therapy.
People who find her approach helpful tend to want straightforward tools and a partner who will guide them through change. Her style is supportive and focused on progress toward the goals you set together.
CBT tools and flexible online sessions
Julie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep troubles, low mood, and stress-related problems and focuses on concrete skills you can practice between sessions.She emphasizes short-term, skills-based work so sessions are focused on goals and steps you can take right away. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs and preferences. That partnership helps tailor the pace, exercises, and homework to your goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and behavioral exercises. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit care around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
