She focuses on helping people develop resilience and practical tools for everyday life. In the room she listens first, then helps set goals that fit each person’s life. Expect straightforward conversations about what is working and what to try next.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and for people who want to act on goals despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and impulse-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than relying on one fixed method. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around limited bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when people prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and apply skills between meetings.
