Julie Mayer Norvilas, LMFT

Julie Mayer Norvilas is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing midlife transitions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and stress. She uses a warm, curious style and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Julie supports clients through grief, career shifts, self-esteem struggles, and other life changes.

Julie draws on 16 years of experience combining relationship-focused methods with individual coaching techniques. She guides people to notice patterns rooted in attachment and family history, then practices new ways of relating. Sessions often include skill-building for communication, boundaries, and coping with overwhelm.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with emotionally-focused work to address intimacy and connection. She also uses elements from the Gottman method to strengthen relationship interactions and mindfulness practices to help manage anxiety and stress.

Julie has worked with people across the life cycle and brings particular attention to blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and attachment wounds. She offers both live video and phone sessions to fit therapy into busy routines. Language of service is English, and international clients are accepted.

To begin, Julie asks people to identify practical goals and then co-create steps to meet them. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they react to closeness and safety, and then practice new responses for better connection. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and acceptance, giving clients a steady space to talk through what matters and set personal goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify the emotions beneath conflicts and build new interactions to strengthen bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the work as progress is made.

Her practice uses live video and phone sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. Video sessions allow for face-to-face connection and use of visual cues, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. If you want to confirm which session types are currently offered, double-check before booking so arrangements match your schedule.
