Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address the problems people bring. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits and reactions. This helps with addictions, obsessive thinking, and low self-esteem. Another useful method focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past harm affects current feelings and reactions and builds skills to manage triggers and distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to be collaborative, checking in about what works and adjusting plans as someone makes progress.

It can also make sessions more accessible for people who live far from local services or who need to arrange meetings around work or caregiving responsibilities.
