Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to address relationship patterns, emotional experience, and daily coping. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early connections influence current relationships and helps people shift toward more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the client’s goals and pace guide the work, helping people feel heard and supported as they explore change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor interventions so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
