Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and stress-management skills to help with anxiety, mood concerns, and emotional regulation. She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports ambivalence and strengthens motivation for change, often useful for addictions, behavior change, and readiness-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
