About Julie
Julie Elliott is a clinician based in Texas with 35 years of experience. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) as well as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Julie combines long practice with a calm, straightforward approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and anger concerns.
She listens first and asks practical questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and real skills that people can use between meetings. Julie uses familiar, plain language so families and individuals can follow next steps without jargon. Her background includes work across multiple settings and a range of problems from trauma and abuse to relationship struggles and caregiving stress.
That breadth makes her comfortable supporting people through big life changes, chronic mood challenges, and issues like sleep or eating concerns that affect daily life. Therapy often blends emotional insight with skill building. Julie draws on approaches that help people understand attachment patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and manage intense emotions.
She can teach techniques for handling anger, coping with compassion fatigue, or planning practical steps when life feels overwhelming. Practical matters are addressed alongside feelings. Sessions can include planning, role-play, and checking progress over time.
People who want direct feedback, clear tools, and a steady guide through hard situations may find this style helpful.

Approach to online care and therapeutic methods
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice the ways they seek connection or pull away and can be useful for relationship struggles and intimacy-related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and what feels most useful, then suggest approaches and adjust plans as needs change. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape which methods are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do shorter updates, or share notes without scheduling a full call. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions.
