How her approaches translate to online work

Julie frequently draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns influence current relationships; this approach helps people notice emotional triggers and build different ways of relating. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people name and shift the emotions that keep them stuck, which can be useful for relationship tension and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her practice and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor the work together rather than starting with a fixed plan.

Many clients appreciate online sessions because they fit into busy lives more easily. The biography mentions both live video and phone sessions as formats that have been used for flexibility, though readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow conversation from a comfortable setting, which helps people maintain consistency during life transitions.
