Julie Borden , LCSW

Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a master’s degree in Social Welfare and more than twenty years of experience providing counseling. She has worked extensively with people facing grief and loss, stress management, parenting challenges, depression, and difficulties with communication in relationships. As an LCSW she holds a professional license to provide clinical psychotherapy and social work services.

Julie views therapy as a way to gain new perspective - like looking through a different window to see one’s life with greater clarity. She emphasizes the importance of distance and reflection to help clients recognize long-standing patterns, question assumptions, and notice relationship dynamics that often go unexamined when living too close to a problem.

Awareness is only the first step in Julie’s approach. She pairs insight with practical, incremental action - encouraging small, manageable steps that can create meaningful change over time. Through experimentation with new behaviors, clients often begin to experience shifts in how they see themselves and their possibilities.

Her goal is to help people live more authentically and with intention, making deliberate choices instead of repeating old habits. Julie approaches therapy as a collaborative process, inviting clients to share their unique stories and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and a more hopeful future.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine insight-oriented exploration with practical skill building. Insight-oriented work helps clients examine long-standing patterns, question assumptions, and gain perspective on relationships and life choices, which can be especially helpful for issues like grief, communication struggles, and identity concerns.

Complementing this, skills-based interventions focus on teaching concrete tools for managing stress, anxiety, and everyday challenges. These techniques equip clients with coping strategies, structured steps for change, and opportunities to practice new behaviors in manageable increments so small successes can build momentum.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works together with each person to identify goals, test what feels most effective, and adjust the plan based on individual needs and preferences. This partnership helps ensure therapy stays practical and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage in this work from home or another convenient space. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain ongoing contact between meetings, and access support from wherever licensed professionals are able to practice.
