Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Julie Vierling
Julie uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are helpful for mood instability, intense emotions, and relationship struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, supports people in clarifying personal values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility needs. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care and adapting the format to what feels most comfortable.
