About Julie

Julie Jackson uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and other hard moments. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW who draws on practical therapies to guide people through change. Julie writes simply and listens carefully, focusing on what matters most to each person.

She believes many problems come from how we see our lives and the events around us. Solutions often exist but need time and attention to surface.

Background and approach

Julie works with people on anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship strains, and addiction-related issues. She also addresses sleep and eating disruptions, anger, low self esteem, and coping with life transitions. Her background includes work in mental health and healthcare settings.

She holds LCSW credentials in Texas and California - TX LCSW 65379 and CA LCSW 66235 - and has three years of clinical experience. That experience informs her practical focus and plainspoken style. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness along with client-centered listening.

Those methods help people notice unhelpful patterns, choose values-based steps, and build small habits that matter. Parents and people concerned about family life often come for hands-on strategies and clear next steps. Julie describes therapy as a collaborative process.

She helps people name the problem, try new ways of coping, and adjust plans over time. Her goal is to support steady progress toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

Therapeutic tools you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and build useful habits; it often helps with anxiety, sleep, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed in follow-up sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. This variety makes it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to try small changes in real life with ongoing support.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
