Background and approach
Julie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly and set simple goals. Her style is practical and collaborative rather than lecture-based. Julie draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs.
She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need tools to manage strong emotions.
Her background includes running Collective Impact Services, LLC and offering counseling, supervision, training, and referrals. That work has led her to build partnerships with community organizations and vocational services in Michigan. She has experience helping people with vocational guidance and resources for rehabilitation services.
Sessions focus on concrete steps for change, coping skills, and clearer next actions. Julie helps people set realistic plans, practice new skills between sessions, and track small wins as they move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In online work that means the therapist asks open questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients set the agenda for each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and test them against facts. Online CBT often includes short exercises, homework, and check-ins to practice new thinking between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if a different focus or skillset would be more helpful.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible care. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins or shorter interactions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, caregiving, or mobility needs while still working on concrete skills and goals.
