About Julie
Julie Hatfield is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of professional experience. She practices in Montana and North Dakota and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Julie aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they begin the work of therapy.
She helps people identify what feels most difficult right now and sets practical goals together. Sessions focus on day-to-day strategies for coping, building confidence, and handling mood changes. She also addresses relationship tensions, grief, and workplace or caregiver stress in straightforward terms.
Julie pays careful attention to a person's history and current stresses to tailor an approach that fits. She supports people managing attention challenges, impulse control, and the emotional effects of trauma. Adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin issues, and blended family dynamics are other areas she commonly addresses.
People who need help with anger, forgiveness, guilt, or compassion fatigue can expect clear conversation and steps to try between sessions. She also works with those navigating bipolar symptoms, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, and first responder stress. Julie welcomes questions and aims to make the process understandable.
Starting therapy often feels like a big step, and she acknowledges that courage. She will work with each person to set a pace that feels possible and to build practical skills over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Many of the techniques Julie uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on practical skills. One approach emphasizes learning specific coping strategies to manage anxiety and panic symptoms in the moment, such as breathing and grounding exercises paired with behavior changes. Another approach focuses on understanding patterns that maintain low mood or relationship conflict and testing small changes to see what helps in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking in on how it feels, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between visits. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth or focus is a concern.
