Julie Elliott, LCSW-C, LCSW

Julie Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 35 years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and brings a long career of supporting people through major life shifts, including midlife transitions. Julie earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and holds LCSW-C and LCSW credentials. Her approach is straightforward and people-focused. She listens first, then helps clients identify realistic next steps. Sessions often center on building coping skills, improving communication, and sorting out relationship patterns that cause stress. Julie draws on methods that emphasize attachment, emotion, and practical behavior change. Clients commonly bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and career strain. She also works with issues like parenting strain, blended family challenges, body image, and caregiver stress. Midlife concerns are part of the mix for people who are rethinking relationships, work, or purpose. Julie uses a mix of Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Emotionally-Focused approaches. She tailors these to each person’s needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes practice across different regions and roles over decades. That experience shapes a calm and practical style that aims to help people manage immediate problems and plan for longer-term change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting when old habits cause pain. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering warmth and reflective listening to help clients find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches hands-on skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That makes therapy collaborative and flexible rather than fixed from the start. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also allow continuity for people who are traveling or living abroad since international clients are accepted. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy usable within everyday life rather than promising any single service format.
