Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy with Julie Gallivan
Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on action aligned with personal priorities rather than avoidance.Her client-centered approach places the person at the center of the work, offering nonjudgmental listening and empathy so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. This style supports growth in areas like self-esteem, relationships, and identity concerns.
Julie also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday stressors through skill building and problem solving.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to receive support from varied locations and on schedules that suit them. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
