About Julie
Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of counseling experience. She holds a master's degree in Social Welfare and has helped people navigate stress, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship communication. She knows reaching out for help can feel like a big step, and she aims to make that first move easier and more hopeful.
Julie describes therapy as a chance to see life through a new window.
Background and approach
She helps people gain distance and perspective when their view feels fogged or overwhelming. She listens for patterns in relationships and gently points out assumptions clients may not notice on their own. Awareness is only the start, she says.
Julie pairs insight with concrete, manageable actions. She encourages small experiments and baby steps so clients can build confidence through real, achievable changes. Those small wins often lead to wider possibilities over time.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns, including coping with life changes, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, career, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing burnout and compassion fatigue as well as those in the LGBT community. Julie aims to help people live more authentically and make deliberate choices instead of repeating old patterns.
She works collaboratively, listening to each person’s unique story and helping them find clearer direction, greater calm, and more confidence.
Approaches that help online: insight plus action
Julie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on perspective and practical change. One approach helps people identify habitual patterns in relationships and daily life so they can see which habits no longer serve them and make different choices. Another approach emphasizes short, doable behavioral steps that build confidence through repeated small successes and help turn new choices into lasting habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She listens to what matters most and adjusts strategies as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
