Julie uses clear, readable approaches in sessions. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also teaches mindfulness skills to ease tension and DBT strategies to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and geared toward real-life problems like parenting stress, work challenges, addiction concerns, or grief. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through issues. Julie believes people have strengths they can use to move forward, and she helps uncover those strengths.
She works with varied concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, eating and body image, and caregiver stress. Her background includes many years supporting people after trauma, loss, or major life transitions. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods.
That mix helps people set achievable goals and track progress over time. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and preferences. Julie often combines short-term problem solving with skills practice for longer-term change.
She aims to help people build coping strategies they can use outside sessions and to find clearer paths through difficult times.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person's goals. It centers the conversation on the client's experience and helps people clarify what they want to change or achieve. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for when feelings feel overwhelming. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust plans based on how well the strategies fit the client's needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow for in-depth sessions that feel similar to face-to-face meetings. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or when audio-only check-ins are preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging give options for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing over talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice new skills between sessions.Questions people ask
