About Julie
Julie Otis is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Indiana with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship struggles, trauma and issues with self-esteem or career direction. Julie also works with concerns related to ADHD and post-traumatic stress.
Julie uses a direct, practical style. She points out patterns that may be holding someone back and offers concrete skills to try instead. Sessions focus on clear feedback, measurable steps, and regular skill practice rather than long open-ended conversation.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and dialectical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused techniques guide conversations about how past relationships shape present reactions. Client-centered principles keep the client's goals and experience at the center of planning.
In a typical sequence, Julie helps identify problem patterns, teaches coping strategies, and supports practicing those strategies between sessions. She pays attention to communication habits, impulse control, and relationship dynamics that get in the way of everyday functioning. Progress is discussed in practical terms, with adjustments based on what is and isn’t working.
Julie’s approach is aimed at doing real, observable work in sessions. She expects openness to feedback and willingness to try different tactics. People who prefer direct guidance and step-by-step tools tend to find this style useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on setting small goals, tracking reactions, and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns influence current behavior. That perspective helps when communication problems, codependency, or commitment issues are contributing to conflict or isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation, and she will adjust techniques as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. It can also let someone do skills practice in familiar routines, which helps translate what is learned into everyday behavior.
