Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the relationships and emotional bonds between people. It helps clients explore patterns formed in early relationships - useful for parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical tools for addressing anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, and many everyday coping concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic experiences, offering strategies to manage symptoms related to trauma and abuse while building resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julianne works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify which methods align with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those living in different locations. These formats allow ongoing support and practical skill-building without the need for in-person visits, helping clients maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into their daily lives.
