She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered ideas to help people understand feelings and strengthen relationships with themselves and others.
Many people come to her for help with anger, trauma, social anxiety, or relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with addiction, ADHD, low self-esteem, and work stress.

How Julie’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work helps people notice how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can help someone practice new ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships with clearer feedback and reflection.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. In this approach the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s goals, which is useful for building trust and self-understanding in a virtual setting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and style. She may mix approaches so the work stays practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat enables brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and practice new skills in real time.
