Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Julie Barrett

Julie Barrett integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person to set their own goals; it is helpful for people seeking a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to explore relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily coping skills.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based strategies can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationship interactions. Determining which approach or combination of approaches will be most helpful is part of the therapeutic process - Julie works collaboratively with each person to tailor treatment based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and licensed professionals may adjust methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for clients seeking flexibility and accessibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to meet with therapists from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity during life changes. These options support consistent engagement and make it easier to apply skills between sessions.
