About Julie
Julie Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 35 years of experience. She trained at the University of Houston where she earned a Master of Social Work in 1990, and she has worked in the United States as well as abroad in Canada and the South Pacific.
Her scope includes stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also lists areas such as blended family issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and substance-related challenges among her focus areas. The profile presents a broad clinical background rather than a narrow specialty.
In sessions she uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused ideas. That means conversations may look at patterns of relating, practical skill-building, emotional awareness, and ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
People often come with practical problems such as managing life changes, parenting strain, co-parenting or stepfamily friction, or coping after loss or trauma. She offers steady, pragmatic conversation and tools rather than quick fixes, and aims to help people organize next steps that fit their daily life.
Her international work informs a flexible view of family and cultural differences. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking, as options may vary.
How attachment and skills-based approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. It can help people in stepfamilies recognize triggers, loyalty conflicts, and patterns that repeat across relationships.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and helping the person lead sessions and set goals. It suits people who want a conversational, reflective approach to sorting priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, mood, and coping with day-to-day stressors.
Finding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and choose what helps most for the client's goals and circumstances.
Session formats supported by this therapist are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people join from different locations, which can be helpful for international clients. Licensed professionals will discuss session length, frequency, and technical needs when scheduling to match therapy to everyday life.
