She focuses on problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Julie uses structured methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and narrative approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try different responses, and build practical coping skills. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.
Her practice addresses many everyday struggles including sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and intimacy issues. She also lists focus areas such as attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and divorce or separation. These topics are worked through with concrete steps and goal-focused conversation.
Julie describes helping people improve communication, manage mood symptoms, and develop routines that make daily life more manageable. Sessions aim to identify specific problems, set small goals, and practice new skills between meetings. The overall approach is pragmatic and collaborative, with attention to both current difficulties and past patterns.

How CBT and related approaches are used online
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and practice new behaviors; CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, grief, and chronic pain. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want to make changes by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, combining techniques when helpful. The focus is on clear goals, short-term experiments, and reviewing what works in regular check-ins.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can be easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Other practical benefits include conserving energy on days with low stamina and using audio-only sessions when video would be too demanding. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching process to pick what suits everyday life.
