Integrating proven approaches into online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and daily stressors. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship dynamics and teaches communication and conflict-resolution skills couples can use to improve connection and handle disagreements more constructively. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for individuals struggling with intense emotions or recurring crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods so treatment feels relevant and manageable. That collaborative stance helps determine which strategies are likely to support progress and which can be adjusted as therapy evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules or continue care when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, practice skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists in ways that align with everyday life.
