How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections and feelings. It helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves, and supports new ways of feeling safer in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening without judgment and following the client's pace. This approach helps people feel heard, build self-trust, and decide on goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to challenge negative thoughts and try different behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will work together to choose methods that fit. That collaboration helps make sessions useful and focused on what the client wants to change.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit visits into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups or check-ins. It can also make short skill-based sessions or longer conversations more manageable when juggling work, family, or medical appointments.
