About Julie
Julie Butler is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, relationship trouble, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and parenting strain.
Julie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first to understand what matters most. Then she works with clients to set clear goals and build small, manageable steps toward them.
Background and approach
People can expect direct tools they can try between sessions. Her background includes broad work in behavioral health settings over a decade. That experience shaped a flexible approach that blends different methods rather than relying on one model.
Julie draws on clinical approaches that fit each person’s needs and circumstances. In sessions she uses techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-focused methods help clients notice progress and plan next steps.
The Gottman Method informs how she addresses relationship patterns when that is a concern. Julie emphasizes collaboration. She helps people name priorities, try practical strategies, and adjust plans if something is not working.
Her style is calm, direct, and goal-oriented. She aims to help people feel more capable of handling life’s challenges.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and following their lead; it helps people feel heard and helps identify what they most want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. The Gottman Method addresses communication and interaction patterns in relationships by teaching specific skills for managing conflict and strengthening connection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust strategies based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using and which to change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, ask quick questions, or have a lower-intensity way to stay connected between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
