Julia uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. They draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thinking patterns. They also use dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness tools to manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm.
Sessions tend to be practical and skills-focused. People can expect to talk through current problems, try simple exercises in session, and take small tasks home between meetings. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or struggling with substance use.
Julia describes themselves with they/them pronouns. They bring experience working with people facing multicultural and identity-related concerns, gender dysphoria, and first responder stress. They also address family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and fertility or parenting-related strain as individual concerns.
Outside of work Julia enjoys reading, gaming, gardening, stained glass and costume making. The lighter hobbies are part of how they recharge between appointments. If you are navigating a stephousehold or blended family dynamics and want a practical, skills-based approach, Julia may be a reasonable person to contact for an initial conversation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Julia frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess what feels most useful given the client's goals and day-to-day needs. That may mean trying a skills focus for several sessions and then adjusting based on what helps most.
