How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and focused, which makes it easy to set clear goals and homework between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships; those skills can be practiced and reviewed in weekly meetings.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie will listen to your concerns, outline options, and help decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as you learn what helps most.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face feeling, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or less screen time. Discuss format needs when you schedule so sessions fit your everyday routine.
