She brings 21 years of overall experience to her work and draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. Julie uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client.

In practice she helps people navigate relationship strain, depression, major life changes, and grief. She also supports people dealing with addiction concerns, anger, parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and self-esteem struggles. Her focus includes working through trauma and abuse and helping clients cope with bipolar symptoms and transitions.

How Julie's Approaches Fit Online Care

Julie often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person’s concerns and priorities, while CBT provides specific exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety and stress.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach breathing and attention skills that reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Mindfulness can be helpful for managing anxiety, improving focus, and calming strong emotions between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what feels most useful.
