About Julie
She uses clear, down-to-earth methods. Sessions often center on understanding thoughts and daily habits and then trying manageable shifts. Julie mentions Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as helpful tools she often uses, alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas.
Julie speaks plainly about loss, chronic illness, and relationship endings because she has navigated those challenges herself. That personal perspective shapes how she listens and the examples she brings into sessions. She also pays attention to parenting stress, caregiving, body image, and work-life struggles.
In a typical session she aims to help a person notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and practice simple routines that reduce distress. She frames therapy as a partnership where goals and steps are practical and doable.
Outside of clinical work Julie enjoys travel, nutrition, and movement. Those interests sometimes inform homework and real-life experiments she offers. Overall, she aims to help people move from surviving toward feeling steadier and more able to enjoy small moments again.

How Julie Uses Skills-Based Therapy Online
Julie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT focuses on skills for emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.She also uses Client-Centered ideas that prioritize listening and meeting each person where they are. That approach helps shape goals together and keeps the plan practical and tailored to everyday life. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative; Julie will work with a client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel plans because it reduces commute time and allows shorter or more flexible check-ins. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer sessions or when hands-on support feels helpful. Julie aims to adapt the therapeutic work so it fits daily routines and real-life practice rather than asking for big, impractical changes.
