Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Julie McCune draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and strengthen coping during periods of grief, trauma recovery, or ongoing life stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. McCune collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care in a way that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and access. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect in the ways that suit their routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals such as Dr. McCune.
