Background and approach
The work often includes learning new ways to manage strong emotions and improve communication. Julie has a long background in mental health settings, including inpatient and crisis response work. That experience gives her familiarity with intense emotional situations and practical steps for calming acute distress.
She also brings decades helping clients build steady coping skills for ongoing challenges. She has particular interest supporting LGBTQ people through identity questions and family tensions. Julie also focuses on highly sensitive and neurodivergent people, helping them understand their traits and build self-confidence instead of feeling pressured to change who they are.
Many clients explore personality patterns with her, using Jungian ideas and common online tools like the Myers-Briggs style inventories to gain insight. Julie combines those insights with evidence-based techniques to help people make decisions, improve relationships, and feel more able to handle life’s ups and downs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy, trust, and family strains.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you go. That collaborative process helps find practical strategies that feel right for you rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how you meet. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between visits.
