Background and approach

Sessions tend to be interactive and validating, with an emphasis on real-world tools people can use at home. Julie draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses mindfulness to help people manage stress and emotional reactivity.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want help changing habits, including issues with drugs and alcohol. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps when values and behavior feel out of step, supporting clearer choices and commitment to what matters. Her person-centered stance keeps the client’s goals and experiences at the center of treatment.

With about 30 years of experience, Julie has worked in many types of settings and is familiar with 12-step approaches. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence while helping people develop new skills and solutions. Her practice aims to support practical change rather than labels or complex jargon.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in formats that fit modern schedules. Prospective clients use a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy family life

Julie blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in plain, concrete ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that lead to stress or low mood, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, committed steps toward them even when emotions are difficult.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with emotional regulation and stress management, teaching simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way - the therapist and client decide together which methods make the most sense based on goals and daily life demands.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for parents and busy adults. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel, phone sessions fit into tight schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter, focused check-ins. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and use therapy tools in real time within the routines of family life.

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.
