How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current feelings and relationship patterns. In simple terms this approach helps people notice how they react in close relationships and try new, gentler ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily habits that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular check-ins. It also lets people use brief calls or video meetings to practice skills between appointments and apply strategies directly to everyday settings.
