Sessions emphasize building skills for coping and improving daily routines such as sleep and eating.

She also supports people dealing with infertility, postpartum mood changes, and grief after loss. Her work includes attention to issues that commonly arise with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and try new strategies between sessions. Meetings aim to be comfortable and focused on what will make a practical difference in day-to-day life. Based in Pennsylvania, Julie conducts therapy in English.
Her background includes many years in mental health and experience applying trauma-informed ideas when they are needed. She helps clients weigh options and reduce stress while they move through life changes.
Approach and online options for anxiety and relationships
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and panic going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving stress tolerance, and handling conflicts more calmly.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship issues are central. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns between partners, while the Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills and repair strategies for common relationship problems. Julie will discuss these options and help decide together which fits the client’s needs and goals.
Online therapy with Julie can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a full session that includes nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers to avoid video. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family or work schedule and to keep consistent momentum when life is changing.
