With nine years of experience in clinical settings, Julie brings practical know-how to everyday problems like communication struggles, caregiver stress, grief, and issues such as hoarding or codependency. She explains steps clearly and works at a pace that fits the client.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s goals, letting the client lead conversations while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady, nonjudgmental listener.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to shift patterns that cause stress or low mood. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday problems like worry or unhelpful thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal usefulness. DBT techniques are often used when people need tools for emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and better communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools to use and how quickly to move forward.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations. Ask about current scheduling and format choices to see what fits your routine.
