Julianna Bardgett, LCSW

Julianna Bardgett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Idaho with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationships, and family concerns. Julianna works directly with parents and individuals who are juggling care responsibilities or facing relationship strain.

She trained in social work at the University of Montana and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Louisiana. Her early work concentrated on addiction services for women with dependent children and community mental health in western Montana. That work included long-term support for substance use and parenting challenges.

Julianna uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and on EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate.

Typical topics she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, codependency, and blended family stress. She also supports people coping with chronic pain or illness, body image, dissociation, and consequences of domestic violence and separation.

In session she listens for what matters most and then suggests concrete steps to try between meetings. Appointments aim to balance problem-solving and time to process difficult events. People who want straightforward, structured work on coping skills and relationship patterns often choose this style.
