How Julie works
That variety shaped her work with substance use, trauma and abuse, grief, and co-morbid conditions. Her background gives her familiarity with both short-term goals and longer-term recovery processes. In sessions she draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Those methods translate to concrete skills - managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and building better day-to-day habits. Julie likes to make therapy practical and problem-focused when that is helpful. She helps people facing challenges such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, anger, compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, and career stress.
Julie aims to help clients improve functioning and relationships by teaching tools and practicing skills together. She emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Julie provides online options and stays active through messaging for ongoing support.
She encourages taking the first step and will help new clients get connected to a plan that fits their needs.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change, which is useful for stress, confidence, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. It teaches ways to notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful for emotion regulation, anger, and patterns that keep repeating.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is noticed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper weekly sessions, phone calls can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is good for quick support or brief skill coaching. These options make it easier to connect during evenings and weekends and to keep therapy practical and consistent.
