Julie’s approach is warm, interactive and grounded in collaboration. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape conversations and practical strategies around each person’s goals. Sessions are tailored to the individual - combining structured skill-building with sensitivity to personal history and family dynamics. Communication and respect are central to her work, and she seeks to empower clients to make meaningful changes at their own pace.

Based in Pennsylvania and working in English, Julie focuses on helping people improve relationships, manage difficult emotions and build resilience after challenging life events. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clear goals and achievable steps guide the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this practical approach often focuses on skills for managing anxiety, depression and stress. She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when addressing the effects of past injury or abuse, working to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who are ambivalent about change, helping them clarify values and strengthen motivation for steps like improving relationships or adopting healthier routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. Together they set priorities and try strategies that feel most useful.

Online therapy with Julie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions and access support from wherever the client is located within her service area.
