Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julie draws on evidence-based methods to address emotional distress and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or interpersonal conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured approach to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Julie partners with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she tailors techniques or combines approaches to best meet those needs. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful and realistic for the client.
Online therapy provides flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent support across different settings, offering continuity of care and access to therapy from wherever clients are able to connect.
