Approaches that guide online work

Julie often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small, meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person leads the conversation and the therapist follows. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts strategies as progress is made or priorities change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins between commitments. It can also make it simpler to access therapy when facing physical or logistical barriers. Confirm the available session options when you schedule so you know what will work best for your routine.
