About Julie
Julie Ann Hexum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah who uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She offers practical, down-to-earth support to people feeling overwhelmed by grief, caregiver strain, or shifts in relationships. Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear, usable tools you can try between meetings.
Julie draws on therapies that have research backing to tailor plans to each person.
Background and approach
She helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways to respond to strong emotions. Work may include skills for managing intense feelings, improving sleep and eating habits, or addressing substance use and compulsive behaviors. Her background includes four years of clinical practice working with people facing mood disorders, trauma, and the stress of caregiving.
She also supports those coping with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum-related needs, and aging-related stress. This range informs a flexible, respectful approach to each person's story. In sessions Julie focuses on small, achievable changes that build confidence.
She helps clients try new behaviors, track progress, and adjust strategies as needed. The tone is warm and problem-solving rather than judgmental. People connect with Julie by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
She works in English and practices from Utah, bringing steady support to those navigating anger, grief, relationship strain, or major life transitions.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life changes. One approach emphasizes learning emotion regulation and coping skills to manage anger, anxiety, and mood swings; this involves practicing specific strategies in sessions and at home. Another approach targets trauma and grief by helping people tell their stories, make sense of painful memories, and build gradual tolerance for strong feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what feels doable between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and work through exercises together, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills in the moment, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit sessions into a busy life.
