Background and approach

She draws on practical tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping, and she adapts her approach to what the person needs in the moment. Her background includes work with addiction, grief, career strain, and complicated family dynamics. She has experience supporting people through bipolar disorder, eating concerns, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Julie also has experience with issues related to adoption, abandonment, gender dysphoria, and fertility challenges. Julie uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She brings client-centered listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative and psychodynamic perspectives.

Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, practical goals and track progress. She describes herself as a person of Christian faith and is also comfortable working with people of other spiritual backgrounds or with no religious belief. Sessions are offered in English and Julie works with international clients when that arrangement fits the person and schedule.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and builds a collaborative relationship that supports problem solving and emotional relief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage ADHD-related challenges, and change unhelpful patterns.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. That approach can be useful for addressing issues like grief, identity questions, and relationship patterns by rewriting unhelpful narratives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and personal style. That choice is a team effort and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can keep things simple when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options allow short check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These formats help fit counseling into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
