About Julie
Julie L Reardon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Julie writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than long theory.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a blend of listening and clear suggestions to try between meetings. Julie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.
Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits like substance use or pattern-driven behaviors. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Julie partners with each person to set realistic, short-term goals and track small wins.
She pays attention to life transitions such as midlife shifts, caregiver strain, and financial stress. Sessions address related concerns like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and finding life purpose. Julie practices in Georgia and offers straight talk, practical tools, and steady support for people ready to make change.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test new behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage strong emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based techniques include grounding, distress-tolerance strategies, and clear steps to handle intense moments. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Julie works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
