Therapeutic approaches for remote support

Julie integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work, and it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and improving relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop coping strategies, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily functioning, using targeted techniques to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and to restore a sense of control. Deciding which approach or combination will be most effective is a collaborative process - Julie works with clients to explore needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Julie is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make therapy more accessible for those balancing work, family, or mobility limits, and allow clients to engage in ongoing therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are located.
