She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, substance and behavioral addictions, relationship problems, grief, and experiences of sexual, physical, or emotional trauma.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, but flexible as needs change. Julia aims to help people honor themselves while learning tools to manage symptoms and improve daily life. She invites clients who want practical help and steady support to begin the process together.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and meeting the client where they are. In practice this means the therapist prioritizes understanding a person's experience and helps them choose goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills through step-by-step strategies that can reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that best fit those aims. Goals are set together, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as progress or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing contact and quick reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
