How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Julie often blends attachment-based work with emotionally focused therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and manage strong emotions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current needs and reactions. Emotionally focused therapy helps people name emotions, create new interactions, and strengthen connection when relationships feel strained.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. That means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what’s felt, and helps identify goals together. Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort; Julie checks in and adjusts methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences.

If you are considering online work, note that the original biography lists live video and phone sessions as ways her clients have connected. Confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. The therapist will help decide how to structure sessions so they match your schedule and therapeutic goals.
