How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Julie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage anxious thoughts and bodily reactions. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and tests new beliefs through small behavioral experiments, which can reduce avoidance over time. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to help reduce reactivity and build steady focus during stressful moments.She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and responsive. That means she listens first, asks about what the client wants to change, and then suggests approaches together. Deciding which methods to use is a team effort based on goals and day-to-day needs.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and to bring real-life examples into the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they work over distance while focusing on practical steps that fit the client’s life.
