About Julie

Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a master’s degree in Social Welfare and 23 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing a range of life challenges including grief and loss, stress and anxiety, parenting difficulties, depression, and relationship communication struggles. Her approach emphasizes helping people gain clearer perspective on their situations so they can make intentional choices rather than rely on automatic patterns.

Julie likens therapy to looking through a new window - a way to step back from a close-up view that can feel fogged and overwhelming. She helps clients identify longstanding assumptions and relationship patterns, bring unconscious habits into awareness, and consider alternative ways of responding. Insight is paired with practical action; Julie encourages small, manageable steps that build confidence and create ripple effects of change over time.

Her goal is to support clients in living more authentically and with purpose, helping them recognize options they may not have seen before. Julie values collaboration and curiosity, and she aims to create a space where people can explore their stories, experiment with new behaviors, and move toward greater clarity, calm, and self-assurance.

Approaches to change and the convenience of online therapy

Julie Borden uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping clients gain clearer perspective and build new habits. One approach emphasizes insight and exploration - examining long-held assumptions and relationship patterns so clients can see their situations from a new vantage point and make more deliberate choices. Another approach centers on small behavioral experiments - trying manageable, concrete steps that accumulate into meaningful change and increase confidence in daily life. She also incorporates practical coping strategies for stress and emotional regulation to help people manage symptoms while they work toward larger goals.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. Julie approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what fits their needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Julie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to engage in consistent care, try new skills between sessions, and integrate therapeutic progress into everyday routines.
