Julie Elliott

Julie Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 35 years of practice. She lives and works in Texas and brings long experience from work in Canada and the South Pacific. Julie received a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston in 1990 and holds multiple state licenses, including LCSW-C and LCSW.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals.

Julie often helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, body image issues, and life transitions. Her experience includes work with aging and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care, and complex co-morbid presentations.

Sessions are conversational and aim to build practical skills. Clients can expect a calm listener who offers clear strategies and tasks to try between meetings. Julie emphasizes collaboration and gradual change rather than quick fixes.

She works in Texas and communicates in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, a prospective client selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions and trust. It can help people understand patterns that fuel anger or distance and build different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are common as therapy progresses.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue therapy while living in a different region, which is helpful for international clients. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and CBT techniques for remote sessions so you can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
