Background and approach

Sessions are conversational but focused on real-life strategies that make day-to-day life easier. Julie uses plain language and avoids jargon so parents can try ideas right away. Julie blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing.

That means she centers each person’s experience, looks at patterns of thought and behavior, and supports motivation for change. She tailors tools to the immediate problem, whether it is panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or communication strain in the home.

She has three years of experience in community mental health and has worked with people on the autism spectrum and those parenting children with ASD. Her credential is MN Psychologist LP4663, which appears with Minnesota licensing. Julie is comfortable working with people new to therapy and those who have tried it before.

She focuses on creating a respectful space and helping parents and caregivers find practical, achievable steps forward.

How these approaches work online and help parents

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and adapts sessions to each family’s needs. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to try new ways of coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Julie helps people notice patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice small behavior changes. This method is useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and routines around parenting and sleep.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on building the desire to change. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. The therapist asks open questions and supports self-directed goals so changes feel realistic and workable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie discusses options, listens to preferences and goals, and tailors methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try and adjust as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions work for on-the-go moments, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or step-by-step guidance. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to practice strategies between sessions.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
