About Julie
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston earned in 1990 and many years working in varied settings. That experience informs how she listens and responds to concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. The biography also notes international work in Canada and the South Pacific, which shaped her perspective on different life circumstances.
In sessions she uses familiar, evidence-informed approaches. People can expect a balance of practical skills and space to talk through feelings. She works with issues like relationship strain, coping with life changes, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
Julie also addresses areas such as body image, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and substance use. She combines strategies from attachment-based work, client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally focused methods to match what a person needs.
Her practice is offered in English and she is listed as accepting international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How these approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early emotional bonds affect current relationships and coping. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice different ways of connecting and responding.Client-centered therapy centers on the person and their goals. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and supports people in finding their own solutions to stress, life transitions, and identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. It includes practical exercises and behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and making it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can support steady progress with the same therapeutic methods used in person, adapted to the conversation and exercises chosen together.
