Her background includes 12 years of clinical experience working with adults on issues such as parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses mood-related concerns including bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Julie uses a mix of approaches to match individual needs. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive behavior techniques to help people identify values, test helpful skills, and reduce unhelpful thinking.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction by shifting focus from avoiding feelings to meaningful action.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and builds trust so they can explore feelings like grief, self-doubt, or relationship concerns at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for managing panic, low mood, obsessive thinking, and everyday problem solving.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and situation. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling shorter check-ins between commitments or avoiding travel time. Because session formats were not detailed here, confirm current options before booking to know which formats are available.
