About Julie
Her sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the client. She tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's needs instead of using one-size-fits-all solutions. Practical skills for managing day-to-day thoughts and habits are often part of the work.
Julie uses a mix of approaches to address thinking patterns and coping strategies. She draws from client-centered methods to center the person’s goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT techniques to teach emotional regulation skills.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused tools are part of her toolbox when people want to set clear, achievable steps. These methods help make changes feel manageable and specific. Sessions can focus on short-term goals or longer-term growth depending on what the client wants.
People who choose Julie will find a calm, practical therapist who works collaboratively. She emphasizes small changes in everyday habits and thoughts that add up over time. If you want straightforward support for stress, mood, attention, or relationship challenges, she can help you map out the next steps.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In online sessions this means Julie will center the conversation on what matters most and adapt pacing to each persons needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people learn concrete strategies to manage worry, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or a mix makes the most sense. She checks in about goals and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps. Ask about the available session options and scheduling when you sign up so you can choose what works best for your routine.
