Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT focuses on clear, practical exercises and tests of unhelpful beliefs to create measurable change.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. ACT can be useful for coping with ongoing stress, grief, or chronic health challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and temperament, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversation and skill coaching, phone calls can fit a short break or lower bandwidth, and messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
