She also helps people dealing with parenting stress, career strain, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Clinically, Julie uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative methods, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused strategies. She tailors sessions to what each person needs, mixing tools and conversation to meet goals. Conversations are practical and aimed at small, usable steps.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Julie uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can draw on their own strengths; it helps with emotional pain, grief, and making sense of personal struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful patterns, and manage mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, story-based exploration, or a mix of approaches that fits the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper discussion and exercises, phone sessions can fit a lunch break or low bandwidth situations, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or reflections between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
