How Julie’s approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to change responses and behavior. This can be useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and postpartum mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing uses guided conversation to explore mixed feelings and build readiness for change, which is often helpful with addictions or when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work Julie does with each person. She will talk with you about your goals, try approaches that suit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The decision about methods is collaborative and guided by what you say is most helpful.
