She has worked with both adults and children across community, residential, hospital, and school settings, bringing a broad background in helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

Julie focuses on treating each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique needs and goals. Her practice addresses a range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar and other mood disorders, anger and impulsivity, and obsessions or compulsions. She also offers support for caregivers, first responders, and women facing specific stressors.

Julie emphasizes practical coping strategies and collaborative planning so clients can move toward greater confidence and well-being. She encourages those taking the first step toward change, providing steady support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low motivation. These structured approaches are practical and goal-oriented, helping clients develop clearer thinking and more effective day-to-day strategies.

She also employs skills-based interventions that teach emotion regulation, problem solving, and coping tools for managing stress, anger, and relationship difficulties. These methods are useful for addressing trauma-related reactions, grief, parenting challenges, and mood instability by building concrete skills clients can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and clients may use live chat or text-based messaging when that format better suits their schedule. This range of options makes it easier to connect consistently with a licensed professional from wherever the client is located in Ohio, supporting steady progress toward personal goals.
