About Julie
Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of counseling experience. She holds a master's degree in Social Welfare and has supported people through stress, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She understands that reaching out for help is a big step and aims to make that first contact easier and more hopeful.
Julie approaches therapy as a chance to see life from a new angle.
Background and approach
She helps people gain perspective on patterns that keep them stuck. That often starts with noticing small habits and beliefs that shape daily choices. Awareness is paired with practical steps.
Julie encourages small experiments - tiny actions that build confidence and lead to bigger change. Those baby steps can create momentum and reveal options people did not know they had. Her work includes helping people navigate anger, addictions, career shifts, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, ADHD, intimacy issues, and self-esteem challenges.
She also supports those facing major life changes and losses, and those wanting clearer communication in relationships. Julie aims to help people live with more intention and authenticity. She works collaboratively, listening to each person’s story and tailoring practical strategies to their goals.
The process focuses on clearer seeing, deliberate choices, and steady progress toward a brighter future.

Everything Julie lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Julie's practice.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changes people can try in daily life. One common approach is a problem-focused method that helps identify patterns, test small behavior changes, and build new skills to manage emotions like anger or anxiety. This method helps when someone wants clear steps to try between sessions.Another helpful approach emphasizes grief and coping skills for life transitions. It involves naming losses, pacing recovery, and practicing new routines that reduce overwhelm. That approach supports people dealing with big changes, burnout, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll check what’s helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and more nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
