About Julia Caruso
Julia Caruso is an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Massachusetts who focuses on attachment concerns, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem struggles, and addictive behaviors. She approaches therapy with a holistic mindset, blending clinical techniques with an appreciation for each person's life context and creative strengths. Julia values treating clients as whole people and often draws on clients own expertise about their journeys while offering direct, empathic guidance to help them move forward.
Outside of clinical work she is a musician and artist who enjoys time with animals and outdoor activities, and she brings an interest in gaming to her therapeutic perspective - she sees value in connecting fantasy worlds with inner experience as a way to explore identity and meaning. Her style balances clear, straightforward support with compassion and curiosity.
Sessions are typically scheduled for 45 minutes to allow ample time to be heard. New clients are asked to have their first session via video so Julia can meet face-to-virtual-face before continuing with other formats. She generally responds to messages within 24 hours and is unavailable on weekends as she maintains boundaries for work-life balance. If someone is in urgent need of help or in crisis, please call 911, call or text 988, or text MHA to 741741 to connect with a trained Crisis Counselor from Crisis Text Line.
Julia is not currently accepting new clients. She looks forward to connecting with prospective clients when her availability changes.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Julia integrates several practical therapeutic approaches in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed early in life and explores how those patterns affect current relationships, which can support work on attachment wounds, abandonment, and intimacy challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills for changing them - it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and building coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julia collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses so the approach remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options can make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the format that best supports the work clients want to do.
