Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Julie Batson

Julie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current emotions and behavior, helping clients understand trust, connection, and closeness in relationships. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client's own goals and values guide the pace and focus of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is incorporated to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build practical skills for managing symptoms and making changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access care from different locations, and to choose the mode of interaction that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, focused work through these channels, supporting progress even when meeting remotely.
