About Julia
Julia (Jurate) Mcgarry is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. She brings seven years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who are dealing with anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, and relationship stress. Julia aims to make the first step easier for someone who is worried or unsure about starting therapy.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and make small changes.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based approaches to build trust and strengthen how people relate to others. Treatment is adjusted to fit each person's needs rather than following a single script. In a typical session she listens closely and helps the person name thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get in the way.
Then she works collaboratively to set achievable goals and try out new responses. Sessions can include problem-solving, practicing new skills, and reflecting on past patterns that affect current life. Julia often helps with issues tied to grief, trauma, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career questions, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing shame, codependency, or substance use concerns. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps that people can take between sessions. People who prefer a direct, empathetic style and want concrete tools tend to do well with her.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Techniques may be mixed across sessions so the plan evolves as progress is made and new priorities arise.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer a written option for people who prefer to process thoughts in text or who want more frequent but brief support between sessions.
