Julie Mitton, LCSW

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She practices from Utah and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Julie focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, midlife transitions, grief, and parenting concerns.

She combines straightforward conversation with concrete skills. Julie uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions tend to concentrate on what is happening now and what changes someone can try this week.

Julie has worked across outpatient clinics, schools, and mental health settings. That variety informs how she supports people dealing with life changes, career strain, compassion fatigue, and family conflict. She also addresses trauma, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and feelings of emptiness.

As a parent, Julie draws on personal experience to support caregivers and parents in building on their existing strengths. She teaches practical skills for communication, boundary-setting, and managing caregiver stress in everyday routines.

Julie describes therapy as a team effort. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space and to help clients develop coping skills they can use between sessions. People interested in starting will complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions; it is useful for intimacy struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and supports self-directed growth through empathic listening and encouragement, which can help with life purpose and emptiness. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical experiments and coping skills that can reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying a technique, reviewing how it worked, and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to continue during life transitions, or allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Online work can also let people practice new skills in real-life contexts and bring observations from home into the conversation.
