About Julianna

Julianna Bardgett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to support families and parents. She focuses on practical, straightforward care that helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. Julianna keeps language simple and works to create a collaborative space where parents can talk through parenting challenges and family conflicts.

She trained in social work at the bachelor and master levels, earning a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana and a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana.

Background and approach

Julianna has seven years of clinical experience, including extensive work in addiction treatment for women with children while working in western Montana. That background informs her approach to family and parenting matters. Julianna draws from several evidence-based methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques to help people strengthen connections and build practical skills. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes that can improve daily family life. Her practice includes helping with blended family issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and divorce or separation concerns.

She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation, and domestic violence impacts. Julianna is licensed in Idaho as LCSW LCSW-44658 and offers services in English. Her style is warm and direct.

She encourages parents to bring their real-life problems to sessions and works together with them to set goals and try new strategies.

Attachment and practical skills through online therapy

Julianna uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps parents understand patterns with partners and children and work on safer, steadier connections. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and focuses on small experiments to change stressful routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julianna talks with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shapes the plan together. That collaborative process helps identify whether attachment work, CBT techniques, or a mix will best address family and parenting concerns.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to attend from home, coordinate with childcare, and follow up between meetings. Licensed professionals can still teach parenting strategies, practice communication skills, and guide coping techniques effectively through these formats.

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.
