Julie encourages anyone who feels stuck to reach out and begin with a short matching process to find a good fit.
CBT and DBT skills for online care
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts and behaviors that worsen stress or depression and then practice concrete ways to change them. This approach often includes short homework tasks and simple experiments to try between sessions.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills. DBT-based exercises are useful for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Julie will discuss goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and then suggest techniques to try together. If an approach isn’t working, she will adjust it based on feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to access consistent care without major travel or schedule disruption.
