About Julie
Julie Wells is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She aims to meet people where they are and support them as they make changes. She asks questions and listens closely to understand what feels most difficult. Then she and the client build a simple plan that fits the person’s life and goals.
Background and approach
That plan can include skills for managing strong emotions, steps to reduce isolation, and ways to rebuild confidence. Julie pays attention to patterns that come from close relationships, including attachment concerns and caregiver stress. She also works with issues related to guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps rather than long lectures. The approach is collaborative. Julie explains options, checks in about what is working, and adjusts the plan when needed.
She values respect, sensitivity, and kindness in every session. People who choose to work with her can expect clear communication and steady support while they learn tools for coping and growth.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concern at hand. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm. These skills are useful when panic, worry, or daily pressures interfere with routine tasks.Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms by working gradually to reduce avoidance and regain a sense of control. This involves pacing the work, identifying triggers, and building tolerance for difficult memories or feelings so they cause less disruption in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video can approximate an in-person session when face-to-face interaction helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, ongoing skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and daily life.
