About Julie
Julie Fuentes is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who offers bilingual care in English and Spanish. She focuses on practical help for stress, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Julie aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She draws on 12 years of clinical work across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, foster care, correctional, and residential youth settings. That range gives her experience with mood disorders, trauma, addiction concerns, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
Julie also has a history of supporting people from diverse cultural and LGBTQ backgrounds. In sessions she uses clear, person-centered methods to understand what matters most to each person. She blends attachment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and repair strained connections.
Dialectical skills and Jungian perspectives also appear where they match a client’s goals. Julie keeps the work collaborative. She listens first, then offers concrete strategies such as breathing and grounding, communication skills, behavior changes, or structured thought work.
For people dealing with anger, she helps identify triggers, practice de-escalation, and build new coping options. Therapy can take place by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To get started, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy
Julie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how past relationships influence current reactions. This approach looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps individuals make different, healthier choices in relationships.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems by breaking issues into thinking, feeling, and acting parts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Online therapy with her is available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments.
