Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Julie Wiggins

Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors into more effective strategies; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, teaching present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a variety of life challenges. In addition, Julie utilizes EMDR when appropriate - a trauma-focused method that uses bilateral stimulation while processing distressing memories and may help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting the plan as therapy progresses to find the best fit for the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow clients to engage from a location that fits their routine. Licensed professionals can deliver effective care through these formats, and Julie tailors the mode of communication to what best supports each client’s progress.
