About Julie

Julie Hatfield is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of professional experience. She works from Montana and brings a calm, direct manner to sessions. Julie focuses on practical steps people can use each week to feel steadier and more capable.

She helps with stress and anxiety, depression, and responses to trauma and abuse. Julie also supports people managing parenting challenges, motivation, self-esteem, grief, anger, and relationship concerns. ADHD appears among the areas she focuses on, alongside compassion fatigue and career stresses.

Background and approach

Julie aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She listens for what matters most and then helps create short-term goals the person can try between visits. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative rather than overly technical.

In sessions she works to break problems into manageable pieces. That might mean practicing new communication skills, building routines that reduce overwhelm, or testing small behavior changes to improve mood and focus. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Julie also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, first responder concerns, and challenges such as impulsivity or dissociation. Her Montana practice includes work with clients facing complex life changes and blended family dynamics. She will work with each person to identify next steps that fit their life.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves skills training to reduce anxiety and improve mood by teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning. These techniques help when worry or low energy makes daily life harder.

Another approach emphasizes behavior-focused strategies to increase organization and focus, useful for people managing ADHD and impulsivity. That work often includes breaking tasks into smaller steps, building routines, and trying small experiments to see what helps concentration and follow-through.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the challenges they face, then choose or adapt methods that fit. She checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress occurs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills together, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or coaching between visits. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping momentum on the work that matters.
