About Julie
Julie emphasizes practical steps and collaborative goal setting. She listens for strengths people already have and helps build on them. Sessions often focus on coping skills, problem solving, and clearer decision making. The work is aimed at reducing distress and finding a clearer direction in life.
Her background includes work with mood and anxiety concerns, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and substance-related problems. She also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, career shifts, and questions about life purpose. Julie lists midlife crisis among the issues she addresses and helps people consider changes that fit their values and circumstances.
Julie draws from client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. These methods are blended to match each person's needs and preferences rather than applied the same way to everyone. Sessions are practical and focused on what will help most between meetings.
People who want straightforward, collaborative work that balances coping tools with deeper reflection may find her approach useful. To begin, the typical next step is a short online questionnaire and a schedule selection so sessions can start when the fit feels right.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood. It helps when people want a supportive space to sort through choices and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors are a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needs change. The emphasis is on what helps in day-to-day life and on building skills that carry over between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and reduce travel time. Online work can still include skill practice, behavior experiments, and focused goal planning, all adapted to a client's routine and needs.
