About Julie
Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years of experience in mental health care. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Julie emphasizes building a kinder relationship with yourself and practical steps toward feeling better.
She takes a person-centered approach that starts with listening. Sessions look at negative thoughts and unhelpful patterns and then reframe them into more supportive thinking.
Background and approach
That work often includes hands-on coping tools and small daily habits people can use right away. Julie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of attachment-based and emotionally-focused work to address how thoughts and relationships shape feelings. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her style is grounded, direct, and encouraging while staying focused on realistic change. In sessions she validates emotions and helps people name what matters to them. Conversations move from understanding what is happening to trying concrete strategies - breathing, thought records, communication experiments, or brief behavioral changes.
The aim is to leave each session with something to practice between meetings. Julie offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She supports people coping with anger, trauma, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, parenting strain, ADHD, depression, and many other challenges.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Julie often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and helps people create more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when someone wants to share thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
