About Julie
Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 23 years of counseling experience. She draws on long practice helping people sort through stress, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship problems. Julie speaks plainly and offers steady guidance for people taking the first steps toward change.
She describes therapy as widening your view. Clients often come in feeling stuck or overwhelmed, seeing their situation from too-close a perspective.
How Julie works
Julie helps people gain distance and notice patterns in relationships and behavior that may be holding them back. Awareness is only the start. Julie stresses practical, manageable steps after insight.
She favors small experiments in behavior - baby steps that build confidence and create real momentum over time. The work can cover many concerns, including anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, career questions, and issues related to LGBT identity. Julie also supports people coping with life changes and parenting strain.
Her style blends clear explanation with collaborative planning. She aims to help people live more authentically and make deliberate choices rather than repeating old patterns. Julie invites clients to share their story and to work together toward greater clarity and confidence.

Approaches that build perspective and momentum
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people gain clarity and then take small, practical steps. One approach focuses on increasing awareness of relationship patterns and thought habits so clients can see their situation from a new angle; this is useful for anxiety, communication problems, and recurring conflict. Another approach emphasizes behavior change through gradual experiments - trying small actions, noticing the results, and building on successes to increase confidence and create lasting change. These methods are often combined to link insight with action.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a regular session rhythm. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life and to try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
