Her work emphasizes coping with stress, anxiety, grief, and change. She helps people manage anger and addictive behaviors, build self-esteem, and navigate relationship and communication problems. Midlife transitions and career shifts are among the life changes she addresses.

Julie uses clear, skills-based methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas. Sessions often include learning coping tools, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small achievable goals.

She has worked in both private practice and community mental health settings for over two decades. That range informs a flexible style that balances problem-solving with emotional support. Clients can expect straightforward talk, practical strategies, and steady guidance.

For people who want to explore change, Julie offers collaborative work centered on realistic steps. She supports clients coping with loss, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. International clients may be accepted; confirm session options when you book.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that match what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it can be useful for strong emotional reactions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will work with each person to see which methods suit their goals and situation. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays useful and focused on real-life problems.

The biography mentions availability via message, phone, and text, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find learning CBT or DBT skills by phone or message lets them practice tools between sessions and track progress more easily.
