About Julie

Julie Rothfeld is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the College of William & Mary and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns.

Julie aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.

Background and approach

Julie uses straightforward conversation and clear goals to help clients move forward. She often applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and narrative approaches to make sense of relationship patterns and life stories.

Sessions are adapted to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Julie listens for what matters most and then shapes sessions around those priorities. That can mean short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns that affect mood and relationships.

Practical skills are paired with emotional understanding. Clients can expect to practice new communication habits, strategies for managing mood and sleep, and ways to cope with grief or major life changes. The therapist also supports work on intimacy, boundaries, and recovery from past hurts.

Julie works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction issues, bipolar and mood disorders, caregiving stress, and women’s issues. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps so people feel more confident between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work to address current symptoms and relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy issues, communication, and healing after abandonment or betrayal.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest strategies to try. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust methods based on what helps most, whether that means short-term problem solving or deeper relational work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow more flexibility for busy schedules or for those who prefer not to meet in person. The range of formats makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in real time or with brief messages when needed.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
