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 people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

Julie often helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about themselves. She emphasizes practical ways to reframe negative self-talk and to build kinder inner habits. Sessions tend to include gentle skills work and concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.

Her approach centers on the client - she listens first and follows the person’s goals. Julie draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address patterns of thinking. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and emotion-focused techniques to work through feelings.

In sessions she commonly teaches coping tools, mindfulness practices, and behavior-focused exercises that can be used between visits. She supports people who are navigating trauma, parenting stress, relationship conflict, addictive behaviors, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

Julie has experience across many life stages and challenges, including caregiver stress, chronic health issues, body image concerns, and questions related to LGBT identity. Her practical orientation aims to help clients adopt skills they can use day to day rather than relying solely on talk.

To begin, a person selects the platform’s matching path and schedules an initial meeting. Julie works in English and practices under her Florida LCSW credential.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try between appointments. Attachment-based therapy is used to examine how past relationships shape current reactions and to improve how people relate to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and what arises in early sessions. Together the work is shaped by the person’s needs rather than starting with a fixed plan.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and by allowing shorter check-in visits when needed. It can also support follow-up practice and skill reviews between meetings so strategies learned in sessions are easier to apply in daily situations.
