How Julie works
She invites people to tell their stories and to notice how emotions show up in the body. Clients guide the work while she offers tools and options. Julie uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, emotion-focused work, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also incorporates somatic awareness, breath practices, and narrative inquiry to help people gain insight and calm. Her style is practical and down-to-earth.
Julie gives simple strategies you can use between sessions and helps you try new ways of responding to stress. She describes the client as the captain and herself as a navigator, offering different routes to reach your goals. Julie trained at the graduate level and holds a Master’s in Social Work.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when worries, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of living a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and a supportive relationship so people feel heard and understood; this approach is useful for building trust and discovering personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time so the work stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging fits people who prefer short, ongoing contact. These options help people access consistent care, practice skills between meetings, and maintain therapy even when schedules or location change.
