Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it focuses on clear, practical steps.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape present reactions and connections. This approach can help parents and caregivers strengthen bonds and reduce conflict. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are causing ongoing distress; it aims to reduce trauma symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Julianne works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes scheduling easier with multiple formats available. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth.
