Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julie draws from several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is practical and skill-oriented, often helpful for stress, mood concerns, and certain behavioral patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their values and goals at their own pace; it supports relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be useful for emotional regulation and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits what matters most to the individual. This collaborative process helps identify which methods are most helpful for each situation.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy lives, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care without geographic constraints, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address meaningful change.
