About Julie
Julie Pool is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings ten years of experience helping people make sense of difficult moments and find clearer ways forward. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical skills that can be used right away.
Julie listens for the stories that shape how people respond to stress and anxiety. She uses simple cognitive-behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. Sessions also include problem solving and talking about relationships to improve communication and boundaries.
Many clients come for help with anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, or the strain of life changes. Julie also focuses on caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She aims to help people build coping tools they can use between sessions.
In meetings she works collaboratively, asking questions and offering exercises that fit each person’s daily life. Expect clear explanations, brief practice tasks, and follow-up ideas to try at home. Julie emphasizes small, steady steps toward better balance and more calm in everyday routines.
People who prefer practical guidance and a calm, steady conversation may find this a good fit. Before booking, confirm current session options so arrangements match your needs.
How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy
Julie often uses cognitive-behavioral ideas that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That approach teaches straightforward skills for reducing anxiety and handling panic attacks by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.She also incorporates mindfulness practices that teach simple ways to slow down and steady the body during stressful moments. Mindfulness can be used alongside problem solving to build regular routines and reduce reactivity in daily life.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and everyday schedule. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts plans based on what helps most.

It can also let people choose camera-on or camera-off meetings depending on what feels best during a given session.
