About Julie
Julie Pool is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She emphasizes understanding each person's story before moving to strategies. Sessions involve looking at patterns that keep problems going and learning practical skills to manage them. That can include short-term tools for panic or longer work on relationships and self-image.
Her practice draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, problem solving, and relational approaches. Cognitive-behavioral ideas look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Mindfulness work trains attention and calm, and problem solving breaks big issues into manageable steps.
Julie uses the approaches to address specific problems like panic attacks, phobias, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, guilt or shame, and finding life purpose. Work can include learning communication skills for strained relationships.
People who prefer clear steps and practical tools may find this style useful. Sessions combine listening with hands-on practice so skills can be used between meetings. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered by the practice.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Julie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness in straightforward ways. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing alternative responses; this is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses in stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. You and she will adjust the plan as you learn what helps and what does not.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like length of sessions, whether you prefer video or audio, and how to use skills between meetings so therapy can fit into everyday life.
