Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions by focusing on what matters most rather than on symptom avoidance.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the individual as the expert on their own experience. This approach emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative pacing, making it a strong fit for those seeking a supportive space to explore feelings and decisions.

Julie combines these approaches with practical, skills-based work to tailor sessions to each person. Determining the best therapeutic approach is part of the process - she works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility in how people connect. These options allow individuals to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
