Julie uses straightforward, talk-based work. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and practical.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help shifting habits or making changes.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced emotional or physical trauma, and with individuals on the autism spectrum and parents of children with ASD. That experience informs how she plans sessions and sets goals. She aims to make sessions collaborative and clear about next steps.
Julie commonly addresses family patterns that continue from childhood into adult life. She helps people recognize repetitive roles and expectations from their family of origin and practices concrete ways to respond differently. Sessions may include skill practice, behavior experiments, and focused talking to sort through difficult interactions.
For people new to therapy, Julie offers a direct introduction to the process and what to expect in early sessions. She uses short-term strategies and longer-term tools depending on needs. Her approach is practical, conversational, and goal-oriented.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Julie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can describe their concerns in their own words and identify what matters most. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, or panic symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change habits or move toward a goal by clarifying values and strengthening motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively to choose which methods to try based on a persons goals, current difficulties, and preferences. She reviews what is working and adjusts the plan together as sessions progress.
The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. When formats are unspecified, ask which options are available so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, reduce travel time, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like CBT and Motivational Interviewing to these practical constraints so therapy fits into everyday life.
