She includes problem solving and stress reduction tools that can be practiced between visits. Julie aims to make sessions straightforward and comfortable so clients can focus on progress.
With experience in marriage and family therapy principles and trauma-informed care, Julie blends relational and individual techniques. She invites people to set clear goals and works collaboratively to reach them. Please confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
Approaches used in online work and how they help
Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, and sleep or eating concerns and gives concrete steps to try between sessions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help when stress gets intense or when emotions lead to conflict in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can also tailor homework and skill practice to fit daily routines so therapy feels useful between appointments.
