Julie Mitton, LCSW - Therapist in Utah

About Julie

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She practices in Utah and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Parents and caregivers often find her straightforward approach easy to follow.

She uses clear, teachable skills so families can try things between sessions. Julie draws on methods from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She also supports those coping with relationship problems, intimacy issues, and life transitions. Her background includes outpatient and school settings, and work with children, teens, women, couples, and families. As a parent herself, Julie emphasizes building on what families already do well.

She introduces concrete tools for communication, boundaries, and problem solving. Sessions often include step-by-step practice and feedback to make new habits stick. Julie treats trauma, abuse, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and complex family dynamics such as blended family issues and divorce.

She also works with attachment concerns, codependency, guilt and shame, and end-of-life and hospice related grief. Her work includes short-term coaching-style support as well as longer-term therapy when needed. Julie approaches therapy as collaborative teamwork.

She aims to be nonjudgmental and to tailor techniques to each family’s needs. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals. She provides services by video, phone, live chat, and text while the client is physically in Utah.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Julie often blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help families and individuals improve relationships and manage difficult feelings. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and parenting; it helps with family conflict, bonding, and long-standing relationship pain. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, mood, sleeping, and day-to-day stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team decision. Julie talks with each person or family about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they pick and adapt techniques so the plan fits family life and real routines rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let Julie observe interactions and coach in real time, while phone sessions can be simpler for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging provide on-demand support between sessions and a way to try out new skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.

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.
