Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Julie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, helping with issues like abandonment, intimacy struggles, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a respectful environment where the client drives the pace and focus of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to reach care from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent, goal-oriented work while adapting to each client’s preferred pace and communication style.
