Background and approach
She aims to make steps feel doable, whether the focus is mood, attention, or adjusting to change. Julie draws on client-centered therapy to build a supportive space where people’s goals lead the work. She also integrates cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that reinforce worry or low mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and solution-focused steps are used when people need emotion regulation tools or short-term problem solving. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone is finding it hard to make changes or stick with them. Treatment plans are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Julie emphasizes small, practical changes that add up over time. People who choose her work with a counselor who listens, helps set clear goals, and offers concrete skills for coping and focus. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns from everyday stress to more persistent attention difficulties.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build habits that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is often used for stress, worry, and changing patterns that interfere with daily life.
Julie treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process. Together with the person she will try methods that match goals and adjust them over time. The work is shaped by what helps most in real life, whether that’s emotion regulation skills, short-term problem solving, or motivation techniques.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief exchanges into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while managing schedules and day-to-day demands.
