About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting, relationship and family issues, and ADHD. Sessions address practical worries like coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and addictive behaviors.

Julie uses straightforward, person-centered methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She focuses on identifying negative beliefs about the self and reframing those thoughts into more helpful ones. Sessions include learning concrete coping tools, mindfulness practices, and skills to manage emotions and everyday stress.

Her style blends attachment-informed ideas with cognitive and behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to how early relationships and current patterns affect feelings and choices, while also practicing skills that change thinking and behavior. She also draws on dialectical behavior and emotionally focused approaches when they fit the client's goals.

Work in sessions is practical and paced to the person. Conversations look at current challenges, clarify goals, and test simple strategies between meetings. Parents and people concerned about family-of-origin patterns can expect clear steps to shift repeating roles and habits that started in childhood.

Julie emphasizes learning tools that can be used daily. She includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments when useful. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to what works in real life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Julie often draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with clients. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns influence current responses and closeness. This can help people who notice repeating family-of-origin roles or trouble trusting others. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals and daily life. That often means trying a few techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time together.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people using online sessions appreciate being able to fit meetings into a regular week, keep shorter check-ins when needed, or choose sessions that don't require being on camera. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
