About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years working in mental health and wellness in Florida. She has experience with individuals, families, and groups across a wide range of concerns. Julie emphasizes helping people build a kinder relationship with themselves and grow toward the life they want.

She keeps her approach straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying and shifting negative thoughts, reframing beliefs, and building mindful habits that fit everyday life.

Background and approach

Julie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and other approaches to teach concrete coping skills and ways to manage stress, anxiety, and mood changes. Julie adopts a person-centered stance in the room. That means the conversation begins with what matters most to the client and moves at a pace that feels right.

She validates feelings and helps people name the problems they face before mapping out small, usable steps forward. Parents and families who want clearer communication and calmer routines often find the work focuses on skills you can practice between sessions. She also addresses grief, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, trauma, ADHD, and self-esteem, tailoring strategies to each situation.

Julie aims to leave people with tools they can use right away. Her style is encouraging and direct without being harsh. She supports clients as they test new habits, shift old stories about themselves, and make real changes.

Julie looks to build a steady, respectful working relationship that supports lasting improvement.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It looks at connection patterns between people and helps build safer, more reliable ways of relating that can reduce family conflict and improve parenting interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches step-by-step skills to change behaviors and manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and the bond between people, helping family members and caregivers recognize and respond to each other in clearer, more supportive ways.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Julie works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts tools as needs change. That collaborative planning helps clients try strategies that suit their day-to-day life and family rhythms.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. These options allow flexible meeting times, quick check-ins between sessions, and different ways to practice new skills. The format can support steady progress while making it simpler to balance therapy with parenting and family routines.

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.
